SNAP E&T PGRAM-PUBLIC COLLEGE

Chamber Passed·5/14/25

Illinois SB1298 allows public college programs that improve employability to qualify as SNAP Employment and Training components.

Illinois SB1298 amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to consider programs at public institutions of higher education that improve employability as equivalent to SNAP Employment and Training components. This change applies unless federal law prohibits it. The bill requires the Department of Human Services to consult with relevant boards and commissions to establish a protocol for identifying and verifying exemptions to eligibility rules. The bill also mandates that the Department of Human Services adopt necessary rules to implement these provisions without delay.
