SNAP work rules expand age limit and tighten requirements

Starting this Sunday, SNAP's ABAWD rules require able-bodied adults up to 65 to work 80 hours per month or enroll at least half the time in an educational program, expanding the age range and adding waivers in high-unemployment areas; the change is projected to reduce SNAP funding by about $186 billion through 2034 and could cut more than 2 million people off the program, sparking debate over whether job gains will materialize or if benefits are being cut.
