SNAP Back Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Moore, Gwen [D-WI-4]

In Committee

Summary

Restores SNAP work‑requirement exemptions for homeless people, veterans, and certain former foster youth. This bill would amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to explicitly add those groups to the list of exemptions from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program work requirements.

Show full summary
  • Homeless individuals would be exempt from SNAP work requirements so they can receive food assistance without meeting employment or job-search conditions.
  • Veterans would be exempt from SNAP work requirements, making it easier for people who served to access benefits without work-based conditions.
  • People age 24 or younger who were in foster care on the date they turned 18, or at a higher age the State elected under the Social Security Act, would be exempt from SNAP work requirements.

More SNAP help for veterans, youth, homeless

If enacted, you would be able to keep SNAP without meeting the usual work rules if you are in one of three groups. You would qualify if you are 24 or younger and were in foster care under State responsibility on the date you turned 18 (or at a higher age the State elected under 42 U.S.C. 675(8)(B)(iii)). You would also qualify if you are homeless or if you are a veteran. These exemptions would apply to people applying for or receiving SNAP and would take effect on enactment.
