Bill > HR5718

This bill, known as the SNAP Back Act of 2025, proposes to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to reinstate exemptions from work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps) for three specific groups: homeless individuals, veterans, and former foster youth. Specifically, the bill would add these three categories to the list of people who are exempt from SNAP work requirements. For former foster youth, the exemption applies to individuals who are 24 years old or younger and were in foster care when they turned 18 (or at a higher age as determined by state law). By adding these exemptions, the bill aims to provide additional food assistance support to vulnerable populations who may face challenges in meeting traditional work requirements for SNAP benefits. The changes would modify the existing law by inserting new language that expands the list of work requirement exemptions for these specific groups.
