The backstory:
The work requirements are part of the Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (OBBB) which was signed into law on July 4, 2025, adding more requirements for many adult SNAP recipients to work, volunteer or participate in job training for at least 80 hours a month.

If they don’t, they’re limited to three months of benefits in a three-year period.
Previously, work requirements were applied to adults ages 18–54 who are physically and mentally able to work and don’t have dependents under age 18. The new law expands those requirements to those ages 55–64 and to parents without children younger than 14.
It also takes away work exemptions for homeless people, veterans and young adults aging out of foster care. And it limits the ability of states to waive work requirements in areas lacking jobs.
