New Work Requirements for Food Assistance and Medicaid Healthcare

This bill introduces new work requirements for individuals receiving food stamps (SNAP) and Medicaid healthcare. This means that to receive these benefits, many individuals will need to work, perform community service, or participate in work programs for a specified number of hours per month. These changes could affect access to assistance for those who do not meet the new conditions.
Key points
Work requirements for food stamps (SNAP) extended to individuals up to 60 years old, excluding parents of children under 6.
Introduction of a work requirement for Medicaid: 80 hours of work, community service, or participation in work programs per month.
Individuals with disabilities, pregnant women, parents of young children or incapacitated persons, and students are exempt from new Medicaid work requirements.
States may choose to disenroll individuals from Medicaid who do not meet the new work requirements.
