There are new restrictions and cuts to who can qualify for SNAP benefits.
With the government shutdown finally over, states are working to get food assistance flowing again. They’re also working to implement new restrictions and cuts to who can qualify for SNAP benefits. As things returned to normal, the United States Department of Agriculture, which runs SNAP, stood by the November deadline on Friday and issued new guidlines for states on how to comply. A big change to the program has to do with a work requirement. Able-bodied adults need to prove they are working at least 80 hours a month, pursuing an education, or in a training program to keep qualifying for SNAP. Without proof, they can only receive benefits for a maximum of three months. There are also citizenship requirements and several other changes.
