SNAP Next Step Act of 2023
This bill modifies SNAP (food stamp) rules to help unemployed or underemployed recipients access job training. It defines "covered individuals" as SNAP households not receiving TANF aid and not enrolled in state job programs, allowing states to use SNAP administrative funds for WIOA job training programs. States must also create publicly available online calculators showing how future earnings compare to SNAP benefits. The law directly affects SNAP recipients facing employment barriers, aiming to ease transitions into work without losing benefits.
