S. 2287, the RESET for America's Future Act of 2023, expands job training and education programs for people receiving SNAP benefits (food assistance). The bill creates a new "Innovation Employment and Training Program" that gives states 100 percent federal reimbursement for job training efforts that show promise based on research or are currently being evaluated, rather than the standard 50 percent cost-sharing arrangement. The bill dedicates $100 million per year for five years to fund these innovative training programs and also provides full federal reimbursement for transportation and other support costs related to these efforts. Additionally, it establishes competitive grants totaling $15 million annually for states to build better data systems that track employment outcomes and coordinate services across multiple workforce development programs. People enrolled in these training programs will be allowed to continue participation for up to six months even if they lose SNAP eligibility, ensuring they can complete their training.
