Makes two changes to federal nutrition and health law: it edits language in the Food and Nutrition Act and a related fiscal statute, and it creates a new Medicaid work requirement. The new Medicaid rule defines an “applicable individual” and requires them to meet an 80-hour-per-month standard (work, community service, an approved work program, or a mix). States are given the option to suspend federal matching funds for people who don’t meet the requirement and to disenroll noncompliant individuals for a month when no federal funding would apply.
