Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program governing provisions modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program rules to tighten asset and income verification requirements for applicants. It requires households to attest to their financial resources, debt, and recent payment delays, while excluding up to two licensed vehicles and $20,000 in assets from resource limits. The legislation also mandates work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents at the federal maximum and establishes a verification schedule that increases scrutiny based on an applicant's disclosed asset amount. County agencies would verify written asset attestations for current recipients, with higher verification rates for those reporting more assets, and must refer applicants with disclosed debt to financial assistance resources. The bill would take effect on January 1, 2027, or upon federal approval, whichever comes later.
