Hawaii SB3245 modifies certification periods for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, extending them for elderly households.

Hawaii SB3245 establishes minimum certification periods for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. It sets the minimum certification period at twelve months for all households, but extends it to twenty-four months for households where all adult members are sixty years of age or older. The bill also mandates participation in the elderly simplified application project, which includes establishing recertification periods of at least thirty-six months for households composed entirely of adults sixty years of age or older or adults with disabilities, and waiving the recertification.
