SF 3272 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Eligibility determinations for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program households clarification

This bill clarifies the income requirement for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) eligibility in Minnesota. It amends Minnesota Statutes to specify that county or Tribal agencies must determine SNAP household eligibility based on gross income at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines for the household's size. The change directly affects SNAP applicants and recipients, as well as county and Tribal agencies administering the program. It does not alter the income threshold but makes the eligibility determination process clearer in the law. This is a procedural clarification of existing SNAP rules, not a new benefit or policy change.
