How Big Is the SNAP Gap? H. 4606: “An Act establishing the Honorable Peter V. Kocot Act to enhance access to high quality, affordable and transparent healthcare in the Commonwealth." Please Co-sponsor Rep Livingstone’s Amendment to Close the SNAP Gap through a MassHealth “Check Off” Option! This amendment directs EOHHS to allow MassHealth and Medicare Savings Program (MSP) clients under 200% FPL to a) request a SNAP application when applying for or renewing MassHealth/MSP coverage, and b) allow sharing relevant eligibility information with DTA for SNAP. The Problem: How big is the SNAP Gap? The SNAP gap refers to approximately 680,000 people who are receiving Mass Health and likely eligible for SNAP, but aren’t receiving benefits.1 1,600,000 (Check out local SNAP Gap Map by city and 1,400,000 town: http://tinyurl.com/j7kudzs) 1,443,000 680,000 1,200,000 MassHealth and SNAP, as well as many other Masshealth Possible safety-net programs, have separate application 1,000,000 Recipients SNAP processes that often ask for the same basic potentially Gap information, duplicating efforts and creating 800,000 eligible for SNAP more work for the state and delays for clients. 600,000 763,000 400,000 SNAP The Solution: Recipients Allow MassHealth and Medicare Savings 200,000 Program (MSP) recipients to minimally request 0 a SNAP application when they apply for or renew MassHealth or MSP coverage. This “checkbox” option lays the foundation for a common application portal for safety-net benefits. It increases efficiency and captures current household information for both DTA and community-based providers to target their SNAP outreach efforts. Benefits of closing the SNAP Gap through a Check Off” option: Helps increase access to 100% federally-funded nutrition dollars for low income Massachusetts households - including approximately 220,000 children under age 19 and 100K older adults. Boosts automatic “direct” certification for children for free school meals (SNAP = free school meals) and helps school districts improve their “economically disadvantaged” numbers for Chapter 70 funding and possibly “community eligibility” (universal free school meals). Could generate $1.5 billion or more in economic stimulus to the state and local economy. Reps can sign onto the Livingstone Amendment by contacting aide Caitlin Duffy: [email protected] More information: Pat Baker, [email protected] 617-357-0700 x 328 1 Data: April 2017 DTA data confirms a “SNAP gap” of nearly 700K individual under 150% FPLs, including 228K children, over 100K parents and 106K older adults. House Members who’ve supported closing the SNAP Gap: The following State Reps (including long-time, beloved Northampton Rep Kocot), co-sponsored the original SNAP Gap/Common app legislation, House Bill 101 filed in January 2017 - An Act Improving Public Health Through a Common Application for Core Food, Health and Safety Net Programs. H.101 (and S.612) received a FAVORABLE from the Health Care Financing Committee on May 29, 2018. Please contact these House members, thank them for co-sponsoring the original bill, H.10 and urge them to co- sponsor Rep Livingstone’s Amendment to H.4606, the Peter V. Kocut Act.

  • Voting Rights Sign On
    2 August 2021 Honorable colleagues, Thank you for your tireless service. As state legislators, we are the day-to-day technicians in fifty unique laboratories of democracy. We do our part to make government work to the benefit of all, regardless of party. This was true during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when almost every state did its patriotic duty to provide voters relief and remove barriers to voting. This expansion of safe, secure voting led to an election with historic turnout. The current scope of state-level attacks is unparalleled. Close to 400 anti-voter bills have been introduced in legislatures across the nation, with many signed or on the way to becoming law in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona, and others. Make no mistake: these unpatriotic attacks on our elections will undermine confidence that elections in America can possibly represent the will of a checked and balanced majority. They present a deep threat to our democracy and will lead to material harm to communities that have long been under-represented. In a functioning democracy that fairly represents the voices of all people, elected officials should work together to expand the right to vote and protect the sanctity of elections. We are out of options. We need your help. We are asking that Congress pass common-sense national standards to strengthen our democracy with the For the People Act while protecting against future attacks on the right to vote with an updated Voting Rights Act, fittingly named after civil rights hero John Lewis. The world is watching. American democracy is in the balance.
