Easier SNAP Renewals: States Can Waive Mandatory Recertification Interviews.
This Act simplifies the process for renewing federal food assistance benefits (SNAP) by allowing states to waive mandatory recertification interviews for applicants who have already demonstrated continued eligibility. This change reduces administrative burden and saves time for citizens relying on food aid. If an interview is required, states must offer flexible options like phone or virtual meetings.
Key points
States gain the authority to skip mandatory recertification interviews for SNAP benefits if the applicant agrees and has proven continued eligibility.
When an interview is necessary, states must provide remote options (phone, virtual) to reduce inconvenience for applicants.
