SNAP; mandatory employment and training..

SB 1331 requires Arizona's SNAP recipients who are able-bodied adults under 60 to join a state-approved employment and training program, unless they qualify for one of six specific exemptions. These exemptions include parents caring for young children, full-time students, individuals in substance abuse treatment, people working 30+ hours weekly, or those earning at least minimum wage. The bill implements existing federal SNAP work requirements (7 U.S. Code § 2015(d)) at the state level, directly affecting eligible SNAP participants who do not meet an exemption. It does not create new federal rules but mandates Arizona’s compliance with these federal provisions for its SNAP program.
