Easier SNAP Recertification: States can waive interviews and offer flexible options.
This bill aims to simplify the process of renewing SNAP food assistance benefits, making it easier for citizens to continue receiving aid. States will be allowed to waive mandatory recertification interviews if the applicant agrees and has already demonstrated continued eligibility. Furthermore, if an interview is required, citizens will have the option to conduct it in-person, by phone, or virtually, reducing administrative burdens and saving time.
