HB 2382 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP); Department of Human Services; agreements; reviews; report; eligibility; exception; standards; information; codification; effective date.

HB 2382 requires Oklahoma's Department of Human Services to verify SNAP (food assistance) eligibility through regular data-sharing with state agencies, including lottery commissions (for $3,000+ winnings), health departments, tax authorities, and employment agencies. It mandates monthly reviews of income/residency changes, prohibits applying income standards stricter than federal law, and requires public reporting of fraud investigations and improper payments. The bill directly affects SNAP households by tightening eligibility checks and fraud monitoring. It also directs inspections of retailers accepting EBT cards to detect benefit trafficking. These provisions aim to ensure SNAP benefits align with federal nutrition support goals.
