Welfare Fraud Prevention Act Amendments.

Summary

The legislation changes how often households must recertify for SNAP, restricts retroactive Medicaid coverage to two months, and requires verification of citizenship or eligible alien status for public assistance. It also bans self‑attestation for key Medicaid eligibility factors, mandates reporting of illegal immigration status, and imposes new reporting and data‑sharing duties on the health department and hospitals. These measures aim to reduce fraud and ensure benefits go only to eligible individuals.
