relating to continued household eligibility for supplemental | ||
nutrition assistance program benefits on the ineligibility of the | ||
head of household for failure to comply with certain work | ||
requirements. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Subchapter A, Chapter 33, Human Resources Code, | ||
is amended by adding Section 33.0181 to read as follows: | ||
Sec. 33.0181. CONTINUED ELIGIBILITY OF HOUSEHOLD FOR SNAP | ||
ON INELIGIBILITY OF HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH | ||
CERTAIN WORK REQUIREMENTS. If the head of household becomes | ||
ineligible to participate in the supplemental nutrition assistance | ||
program because the head of household failed to comply with work | ||
requirements under 7 U.S.C. Section 2015(d)(1)(A), the other | ||
members of the household are not ineligible for program benefits on | ||
that basis and the commission may not determine the household | ||
ineligible under 7 U.S.C. Section 2015(d)(1)(B) to participate in | ||
the program. | ||
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies to a | ||
person who receives benefits under the supplemental nutrition | ||
assistance program on or after the effective date of this Act, | ||
regardless of the date on which eligibility for benefits under the | ||
program was determined. | ||
SECTION 3. If before implementing any provision of this Act | ||
a state agency determines that a waiver or authorization from a | ||
federal agency is necessary for implementation of that provision, | ||
the agency affected by the provision shall request the waiver or | ||
authorization and may delay implementing that provision until the | ||
waiver or authorization is granted. | ||
SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2021. |
