AI Summary
This bill introduces new provisions for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Oklahoma, aimed at strengthening eligibility verification and program integrity. The Department of Human Services will be required to establish multiple data-matching agreements with state agencies like the Lottery Commission, Health Department, Employment Security Commission, Tax Commission, and Corrections Department to cross-check SNAP household information and identify potential changes in eligibility. These checks will occur monthly, quarterly, or semi-monthly and will review various data points including income, employment, death records, lottery winnings, and criminal records. The bill mandates that SNAP households must report any changes in their circumstances within ten days, and strictly limits categorical eligibility, preventing households from receiving benefits based on non-cash or in-kind benefits unless explicitly required by federal law. Additionally, the Department must conduct on-site inspections of retailers accepting electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards to identify potential benefit trafficking and must publish quarterly public reports with aggregate, non-identifying data about program investigations, improper payments, and recoveries. The new regulations are designed to reduce fraud, ensure proper use of public assistance, and maintain program accountability, with an effective date of November 1, 2025.
