America Works Act of 2025
This bill amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to change work requirements for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) recipients. It adds new exemptions for individuals under 18, over 65, medically certified as unfit for work, parents with children under 7, or pregnant women. It also allows states to request waivers from work requirements in counties with unemployment rates exceeding 10%. These changes directly affect SNAP participants who may qualify for exemptions or live in high-unemployment areas.
