Debt ceiling negotiations resulted in significant modifications to the nation's spending and programs, including work requirements for SNAP benefits. Here's what you need to know.
The deal reached by President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over the weekend would push age requirements from able-bodied adults beginning at 18 years old and under 50 years old to able-bodied adults under 54 years old. The time frame of working at least 20 hours a week, or 80 hours a month, continues to apply. Otherwise, recipients will receive benefits for only three months every three years.
Also, veterans, homeless people, and young adults transitioning out of the foster care system would have expanded access to food stamps under the new deal. They would also be exempt from the work requirements. The law presently states that only those with a physical or mental disability, those living with children, or pregnant people are exempt.
