HB 1111 simplifies SNAP eligibility and increases benefits for elderly or disabled Oklahomans with no earned income. It creates a streamlined process allowing qualifying individuals (60+ or disabled, with all household members meeting these criteria) to use shorter forms, waive recertification, and maintain benefits for 36 months after approval. The bill also establishes a new standard medical deduction of at least $100 for households with verified medical expenses like prescriptions or doctor visits. These changes take effect November 1, 2025, and apply to all new applications and renewals filed after that date.
