HB 2442 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

SNAP; mandatory employment and training

Arizona's HB 2442 requires able-bodied adults under 60 receiving SNAP benefits to join a state-mandated employment and training program, unless they qualify for specific exemptions. The bill directly affects SNAP recipients who are not exempt, such as those not working 30+ hours weekly, not caring for young children, or not enrolled full-time in school. Key exemptions include being a full-time student, caring for a child under six, participating in addiction treatment, or already working 30+ hours per week. This aligns with federal SNAP work requirements but sets Arizona-specific implementation rules for the program.
