Summary

The bill would make anyone who is not a U.S. citizen or national ineligible for SNAP or Medicaid unless they meet the federal definition of an eligible alien. State agencies would have to verify immigration status using the SAVE system or acceptable documents and would have to report any unverifiable cases to federal law‑enforcement or health agencies. It is intended to tighten immigration‑related eligibility checks for welfare programs.
