Iowa House Passes Bill Tightening Public Assistance Rules: The Iowa House has passed a significant public assistance bill, House File twenty-seven sixteen, which tightens rules for programs like WIC and SNAP. The bill limits WIC to U.S. citizens and qualified aliens, cutting out undocumented immigrants, those with temporary protected status, and DACA recipients. It also sets a one-year residency requirement for SNAP and other assistance programs. The bill expands Medicaid for working Iowans with disabilities, raising the income cutoff and qualifying more people. However, the Iowa Senate is considering its own version that includes similar immigrant restrictions for SNAP and locks in the states privatized Medicaid managed care system.
