HB 554 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

DHS; authorize to use combination of reporting systems.

HB 554 would have allowed Mississippi's Department of Human Services (DHS) to combine different federal reporting systems used for the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) under USDA regulations. It required DHS to set its own combination of systems and submit an annual report by September 1 to specific legislative committees. The report would have needed to explain how the combined system worked, its effectiveness, and specifically track its impact on SNAP enrollment and DHS's error rate (as measured by the USDA). This bill directly affected DHS operations and how SNAP program data was reported, but it never became law after dying in committee.
