A BILL To amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to restore and standardize work requirements for able-bodied adults enrolled in the supplemental nutrition assistance program.
AI Summary
This bill, the Jobs and Opportunities for SNAP Act, aims to restore and standardize work requirements for able-bodied adults enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps. The key provisions include: repealing the temporary exemption from work requirements introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, standardizing the work requirement exceptions to exclude certain groups like minors, the elderly, and those with dependents, and reforming the limit on the number of work requirement exemptions that states can provide. The goal is to encourage SNAP recipients to seek employment and become more self-sufficient.
