Bill > S1794

This bill, known as the SNAP Next Step Act of 2025, introduces two key provisions to enhance employment opportunities for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients. First, the bill allows state agencies to use administrative funds to recruit and provide employment and training activities to "covered individuals" - specifically SNAP recipients who are unemployed or underemployed, not receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and not already enrolled in a State Employment First program. Second, the bill requires state agencies to develop an online employment calculator that helps SNAP participants understand how potential future employment might impact their benefits, with the development and maintenance of this calculator considered an administrative cost. These provisions aim to support SNAP recipients in finding and maintaining employment by providing clearer information and access to workforce development resources, ultimately helping participants transition from assistance to sustainable employment.
