Relating to creating a reimbursement program to reimburse certain supplemental nutrition assistance program recipients for the cost of certain food delivery service fees.
SB 770 proposes a program to reimburse certain Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients for food delivery fees. It would apply to SNAP recipients who are 65 years or older or have a disability (as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act). The program would allow eligible recipients to submit applications online, by mail, or in person to get reimbursed for delivery fees paid when purchasing eligible food items through SNAP. The bill includes limits on total annual reimbursement amounts and the number of purchases eligible for reimbursement, while prohibiting reimbursement for non-eligible food items. The program would be implemented by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission using state funds, with an effective date of September 1, 2025.
