flag Oklahoma bill would check immigration status of SNAP/TANF applicants, risking U.S.-born children’s access.

flag Oklahoma’s House Bill 4422, passed 7-1 by a House committee, would require the state to verify immigration status of SNAP and TANF applicants using federal data, referring undocumented individuals to ICE. flag The bill, introduced by Speaker Kyle Hilbert, aims to ensure only legally present individuals receive benefits, even in child-only applications. flag While currently ineligible for SNAP, undocumented individuals are already barred from benefits, but critics warn the measure could deter eligible U.S.-born children from applying due to fear. flag The bill now advances to the House Health and Human Services Oversight Committee.
