This proposal would tighten and expand work rules for people who get SNAP (food stamps) and for families in public housing or using housing vouchers. It raises the age range for the special SNAP work rules for able-bodied adults without dependents to include adults up to 60 (currently up to 55), narrows the caregiver exemption to parents or guardians of children under 6 (instead of under 18), and lets someone with a dependent child get up to 6 months of SNAP without meeting those rules in a 36‑month window. It also adds an exception for someone who cares for a dependent and is married to a spouse who is meeting the work rules.
Beyond food help, the bill would apply these same work requirements to adults in households living in public housing or receiving tenant‑based rental assistance (housing vouchers), unless they qualify for an exemption.
