Texas HB314 extends eligibility for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to 12 months for certain individuals.

HB314 amends the Human Resources Code to ensure that individuals whose eligibility for SNAP benefits has been established or recertified remain eligible for 12 months. This applies to those with no earned income living in a household where all other members are 60 or older or have a disability and also have no earned income, or where at least one member is aged 18-49 with no dependents and no disability. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission may adjust the eligibility period to align with redetermination of medical assistance program benefits for children in the same household.
