Supplementary state food stamp program for elderly recipients; create and fund.

SB 2713 would create a Mississippi state-funded supplemental benefit for elderly residents aged 65 or older who receive federal food stamps (SNAP). Eligible recipients would receive an additional $100 per month on top of their existing federal benefits, administered by the Department of Human Services. The program would require applicants to be at least 65 years old and currently enrolled in the federal food stamp program. The bill, introduced in 2025, died in committee and did not become law.
