Makes SNAP (food stamp) work‑requirement rules stricter and extends those same work requirements to families living in public housing and families who get tenant‑based rental assistance. It changes who is treated under the SNAP work rules, clarifies a 3‑ or 6‑month timing option, and makes people in covered housing programs subject to the SNAP work rules unless they are exempt under the SNAP exemption rules.
The bill requires housing authorities and rental‑assistance programs to treat adult family members the same as SNAP participants for work‑requirement purposes, which will increase compliance and verification duties for agencies and could reduce benefits for people who do not meet the work rules. The text does not specify an overall effective date or provide new funding for administrative costs.
Referred to the Committee on Agriculture, and in addition to the Committee on Financial Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
