Starting November 1, 2025, stricter SNAP work rules take effect. Able-bodied adults without dependents must prove 80 hours a month of work, training, or volunteering or risk losing benefits after three months in a three-year period.
The requirement will also expand to adults up to age 65, and some previous exemptions may end. Supporters say it encourages employment. Critics warn it could hurt people with unstable jobs or health challenges.
For many households, the change directly affects their ability to afford groceries and maintain stability.
