Creates provisions relating to automatic enrollment in the supplemental nutrition assistance program for certain MO HealthNet participants

Summary

The bill would automatically place anyone who pays a spenddown to qualify for or stay on Missouri’s Medicaid program (MO HealthNet) into the state’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as long as required USDA waivers are obtained. The Department of Social Services would set up the enrollment process, seek any needed USDA approvals, and could issue rules to carry it out. The measure did not pass and remains referred to the Emerging Issues committee.
