Jobs and Opportunities for SNAP Act of 2023

S 1062, the Jobs and Opportunities for SNAP Act of 2023, reinstates work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It repeals a temporary suspension from the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and modifies the Food and Nutrition Act to set a 65-year age limit for exemption (previously 50), require work for 3 hours per week (down from 12), and adjust child care provisions. This bill directly affects SNAP recipients who are able-bodied adults without children, requiring them to meet work requirements to maintain benefits. Key provisions standardize eligibility rules, including new caseload reporting timelines and updated exemptions for adults with children under 7. The changes aim to align SNAP work requirements with pre-pandemic policy standards.
