Relating to eligibility for and benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program.

SB 1031 establishes a 12-month standard eligibility period for Texas SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) recipients, requiring households to renew benefits annually instead of more frequently. It creates a monthly quality control review process to verify recipient eligibility and benefit accuracy using electronic data. Exceptions to the 12-month rule include elderly/disabled households, young adults without dependents, and individuals with anticipated income changes within six months. The bill applies directly to SNAP participants in Texas, aiming to streamline program administration while maintaining oversight.
