New work requirements for recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program took effect Sunday, marking the latest step in the Trump administration's broader effort to tighten eligibility rules and combat fraud in federal welfare programs.
Under the updated rules, certain able-bodied adults without dependents must work, participate in job training, or volunteer at least 20 hours per week to continue receiving food-stamp benefits.
Limited exemptions apply, including for individuals with documented health issues or those caring for young children.
