VA HB560

Amends Virginia's Administrative Process Act to expand judicial review of appeals for public benefit denials, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Medicaid, SNAP benefits, general relief, auxiliary grants, and state-local hospitalization

Explicitly includes "determinations of eligibility and approved levels of service" as appealable case decisions, clarifying the scope of reviewable agency actions

Removes previous limitation that courts could only determine whether evidence existed in the agency record to support the agency's decision as trier of fact

Applies the full standard of review under § 2.2-4027 while preserving that review must be based solely on the agency record and explicitly preserves review of legal issues

Updates terminology from "food stamps" to "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits" and maintains prohibition on intermediate relief and challenges to the adequacy of benefit standards
