Chairperson: Senator Brian Hardin
Committee: Health and Human Services
Date of Hearing: February 06, 2025
€
The following constitutes the reasons for this bill and the purposes which are sought to be
accomplished thereby:
€
LB192 would eliminate the October 1, 2025 sunset on Nebraskas current eligibility level of SNAP set at 165%
of the Federal Poverty Level. Nebraskas SNAP eligibility is set to go down to 130% of the Federal Poverty
Level on October 1, 2025.€
Under SNAP program rules, the Federal government pays 100% of program benefit costs, and 50% of
administrative costs, meaning the only cost to the state associated with LB192 is 50% of the administrative
costs of the program.€
