Bill 119 hr 2407, also known as the "SNAP Self-Sufficiency Act," aims to assist individuals who are receiving benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in achieving self-sufficiency. The bill seeks to provide these individuals with the necessary resources and support to help them become financially independent and no longer reliant on government assistance.
One of the key provisions of the bill is the requirement for the government to provide information on the total spending on means-tested welfare programs. This information will help policymakers and the public better understand the scope and impact of these programs on the federal budget and the economy as a whole.
In addition to these main objectives, the bill also includes provisions for improving access to job training and education programs for SNAP recipients, as well as measures to streamline the application process for benefits and reduce administrative barriers.
Overall, the SNAP Self-Sufficiency Act aims to empower individuals receiving assistance under the SNAP program to achieve financial independence and reduce their reliance on government assistance. It also seeks to increase transparency and accountability in the administration of means-tested welfare programs.
