Starting November 2025, new rules will be implemented, altering the eligibility requirements and work criteria for millions of SNAP recipients.
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) will undergo significant rule adjustments. A key change affects adults without dependents, known as ABAWD. As of November, this group must meet a minimum of 80 hours of work, training, or volunteering per month to maintain benefit access.
This requirement aims to encourage labor participation but will also impact those with temporary or part-time jobs.
