HB 1111 simplifies SNAP eligibility for Oklahomans aged 60+ or with disabilities who have no earned income and live in qualifying households. It allows these individuals to skip annual recertification, use a shortened application form, and remain eligible for benefits for 36 months after approval. The bill also establishes a minimum $100 standard medical deduction for households with elderly or disabled members, covering verified expenses like prescriptions and doctor visits, pending a USDA waiver. These changes take effect November 1, 2025, for all new applications and recertifications.
