A JOINT RESOLUTION directing the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to grant all third-party Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefit processors the authority to share data and information with the United States Department of Agriculture.

HJR 68 directs Kentucky's Cabinet for Health and Family Services to grant third-party companies that process Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits the authority to share recipient data with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This enables federal officials to verify eligibility and ensure benefits are properly administered, aligning with a USDA request to remove data-sharing barriers. The resolution requires state agencies to comply with this directive to avoid potential federal withholding of SNAP benefits. It directly affects SNAP processors and the USDA, streamlining data access for federal oversight.
