SNAP Work Requirements
We are in the process of providing guidance on how The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 changes the work requirements for SNAP able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs). This includes changes to the ABAWD exception criteria and ABAWD waiver criteria. We will update this page once the guidance is released.
While SNAP is intended to ensure no one fears going hungry, its rules also reflect the importance of work and responsibility. SNAP has two sets of work requirements, the general work requirements and the able bodied adult without dependents (ABAWD) work requirements.
