NPRM COMMENTS: Expand the Definition of a Public Assistance Household

November 29, 2023

NOSSCR Staff

NOSSCR supports SSA’s proposed change to expand the definition of a Public Assistance (PA) household by including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) as an additional means-tested public income maintenance (PIM) program. NOSSCR also encouraged SSA to build stronger data-sharing relationships with states and to broaden the definition further by including Medicaid.
