The purpose of this legislative text is to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to introduce more flexibility in staffing for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The main objective is to allow state agencies to hire contractors to help process applications for SNAP benefits during times of increased demand or when there are staffing shortages. Key provisions of this legislation include allowing state agencies to contract with outside firms to assist in certifying applicants for SNAP benefits. However, there are specific conditions that must be met.
