Pennsylvania SB85 amends the Human Services Code to establish a uniform twenty-day monthly distribution schedule for SNAP benefits.
Pennsylvania SB85 amends the Human Services Code to mandate the development and implementation of guidelines for a uniform twenty-day monthly distribution schedule for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The bill requires the department to create these guidelines within one year of the act's effective date. The distribution date may be tiered to mitigate hardships and must remain consistent regardless of county changes in residence, potentially using the first letter of the recipient's last name to determine the date. This act takes effect immediately.
