Bill > SB0195

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, amends Indiana law concerning the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a federal program that provides food assistance to low-income individuals and families. Specifically, it eliminates the countable asset limitation for resources related to expanded categorical eligibility for SNAP benefits. Expanded categorical eligibility is a state option that allows states to exempt certain households from asset tests if they receive other means-tested benefits, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Previously, Indiana law had a limit of $5,000 for countable assets for these households, and this bill removes that restriction, meaning households will no longer have their savings or other resources capped to qualify for SNAP under this expanded eligibility.
