Creates provisions relating to automatic enrollment in the supplemental nutrition assistance program for certain MO HealthNet participants
HB 1821 automatically enrolls certain Missouri residents in the federal food assistance program (SNAP) if they pay a "spenddown" to qualify for MO HealthNet (Missouri's Medicaid program). This applies to people already receiving or seeking MO HealthNet benefits who meet SNAP income thresholds. The Missouri Department of Social Services must develop enrollment procedures and seek USDA approval for this automatic enrollment. The bill requires state rules to follow Missouri's standard rulemaking process but does not change SNAP eligibility criteria.
