Change waiver of work requirements under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

Summary

The bill directs the Department of Health and Human Services to seek a federal waiver that removes work‑requirements for SNAP recipients and to broaden eligibility by raising the gross income limit to 165% of the federal poverty line while eliminating most asset limits. It also requires the department to create a USDA‑approved outreach plan, partner with counties or nonprofits, and submit annual reports to the legislature. The measure was intended to increase the number of Nebraskans receiving food assistance but was indefinitely postponed.
