Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes the rules for who can get state public benefits, like food assistance (SNAP) and medical assistance (MO HealthNet). It requires applicants to prove they are U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or eligible aliens, and it increases verification requirements for non-citizens. The bill also directs the Department of Social Services to seek a federal waiver to change how SNAP operates in the state, aiming to prioritize healthy foods and support Missouri agriculture.
