Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program; providing for broad-based categorical eligibility; specifying income and asset qualifications. Effective date. Emergency.
SB 184 expands Oklahoma's food assistance program (SNAP) to include households already receiving state-funded benefits like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) or maintenance-of-effort (MOE) aid. It sets a 170% federal poverty level income limit for eligibility with no asset restrictions, directly affecting low-income households currently qualifying for these state programs. The bill requires the Department of Human Services to seek federal approval to implement this change, which takes effect July 1, 2025. This policy update broadens access to nutrition assistance without increasing state costs for the program.
