An Act relative to food stamp enrollment for seniors

This bill requires the state department responsible for food assistance to work with elder affairs councils to help seniors over 60 sign up for food stamp programs. The law mandates that these agencies hold educational sessions at senior centers and conduct outreach efforts specifically designed to guide eligible elderly residents through the enrollment process. By adding this requirement to existing state laws, the measure aims to improve access to nutrition assistance for older adults without changing the program's underlying rules or eligibility criteria.
