Federal Food Assistance Program to Increase Work Requirements
Significant reductions are coming to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) starting in November. Following the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill by Congress in July, new work restrictions are being imposed on SNAP recipients.
Recipients between 55 and 64 years old, parents with children over 13 years old, people experiencing homelessness, and youth between 18 and 24 years old transitioning out of foster care will be required to work at least 80 hours a month to qualify for SNAP.
- Examples of qualifying work activities include:
- Volunteer activities with a government or nonprofit organization
- Participating in a job training program
- Paid employment
The state Department of Human Services estimates that the change will impact 16,000 people between 55 and 64 years old and 10,000 families with teenage children.
No comment from officials is available at this time.
