The bill changes SNAP work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents, raising the age exemption from 55 to 60 and narrowing the parental exemption to children under 6, while adding a new 6-month exemption for parents or caregivers and one for caregivers whose spouse already meets requirements. It also removes an existing exemption category and extends similar work requirements to people in public housing and those receiving HUD rental vouchers.
The bill affects low-income individuals and families using SNAP, public housing, or rental assistance vouchers, especially adults aged 55-60, parents without young children, and caregivers.
The changes would require more people to work or participate in job training to keep receiving benefits, narrowing who automatically qualifies for exemptions.
