Summary

The bill orders the Department of Health and Human Services to apply for any federal SNAP waivers that could increase the number of Nebraskans served, submit an annual electronic report, and create a state outreach plan approved by USDA. It also requires a TANF‑funded policy that raises the gross‑income eligibility ceiling to 165% of the federal poverty line and removes most asset limits. The measure aims to broaden food assistance while minimizing state‑fund use.
