[8. 1960] Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. That the Food Stamp Act of 1977 (7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.) is amended by adding the following new section: 7 USC 2031. "SEC. 22. (a) IN GENERAL.— "(1) Subject to paragraph (2), upon written application of the State of Minnesota that complies with this section and sections 6 to 11, 13, 130, and 132 of article 5 of 282 of the 1989 Laws of Minnesota, and after approval of such application by the Sec- retary in accordance with subsections Qo) and (d), the State may implement a family investment demonstration project (herein- after in this section referred to as the 'Project') in parts of the State to determine whether the Project more effectively helps families to become self-supporting and enhances their ability to care for their children than do the food stamp program and programs under parts A and F of title IV of the Social Security Act. The State may provide cash payments under the Project, subject to paragraph (2), that replace assistance otherwise avail- able under the food stamp program and under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act. "(2) The Project may be implemented only in accordance with this section and only if the Secretary of Health and Human Services approves an application submitted by the State permit- ting the State to include in the Project families who are eligible to receive benefits under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act. "(b) REQUIRED TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PROJECT.— The ap- plication submitted by the State under subsection (a) shall provide an assurance that the Project shall satisfy all of the following requirements: "(1) Only families may be eligible to receive assistance and services through the Project. "(2) Participating families, families eligible for or participat- ing in the program authorized under part A of title IV of the Social* Security Act or the food stamp program that are assigned to and found eligible for the Project, and families required to submit an application for the Project that are found eligible for the Project shall be ineligible to receive benefits under the food stamp program. "(3)(A) Subject to the provisions of this paragraph and any reduction imposed under subsection (c)(3) of this section, the value of assistance provided to participating families shall not be less than the aggregate value of the assistance such families could receive under the food stamp program and part A of title IV of the Social Security Act if such families did not participate in the Project.
