Reports on feasibility of a demonstration project required to continue to offer program benefits during a transition period.

This bill requires Minnesota state officials to study whether it is possible to create a program that helps people keep receiving certain benefits while they transition out of eligibility due to increased earnings. By January 15, 2026, the commissioners of human services and children, youth, and families must submit a report to legislative committees outlining which existing programs could participate in this demonstration project. The report must examine specific factors such as income limits, budget neutrality, and the number of counties that could join the initiative. The study will focus on programs like medical assistance, child care assistance, and housing support to determine how to reduce sudden benefit losses when individuals earn more money. This legislation does not immediately change any programs but instead directs officials to analyze and report on the feasibility of such a transition system.
