Bill > SF849

This bill appropriates $1,000,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the state's general fund to the commissioner of children, youth, and families specifically for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Outreach Program (SNAP Outreach Program). The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP or food stamps, is a federal program that helps low-income individuals and families purchase food. This bill's funding is designated to support outreach efforts, which typically involve helping eligible individuals learn about, apply for, and access SNAP benefits. The appropriation will be made under Minnesota Statutes, section 142F.12, which likely details the specific parameters and goals of the outreach program. By allocating these funds, the bill aims to ensure that potentially eligible residents are informed about and can access nutrition assistance resources.
