Fiscal Note
Minor cost increase - General Fund
Fiscal Detail and Notes
Because federal regulations and state rules already exclude veterans education assistance from income in determining eligibility for the food stamp program in most cases, it is assumed this bill would not increase program costs.  Any additional costs to the Department of Health and Human Services in implementing this bill can be absorbed by the Department utilizing existing resources.
