Starting November 1, 2025, new rules tied to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) shift how benefits are maintained. For certain adults without dependents, keeping support will require documenting at least 80 hours per month of work, training, or volunteering.

If the requirement isn’t met, benefits could be limited to just three months within a three-year period.
