This bill prohibits individuals without proper legal documentation, referred to as "unauthorized immigrants," from receiving food stamp benefits, Medicaid, or SoonerCare benefits in Oklahoma. It also states that anyone who knowingly helps an unauthorized immigrant receive these benefits could face penalties. Additionally, the bill requires the Oklahoma Health Care Authority to seek federal approval to make Medicaid eligibility conditional on certain education, skills, training, work, or job activities, similar to federal SNAP requirements.
