Part 2/13:
A central element of the reform is the enactment of revised work requirements for able-bodied adults aged 18 to 64 who receive SNAP benefits. These individuals are now expected to fulfill a minimum of 80 hours of work, volunteering, training, or studying each month—equating to about 20 hours per week or four hours daily. The goal is to restore dignity through personal responsibility and ensure that benefits are directed toward those who genuinely need them.
