Show full summary
- Homeless individuals: Would be exempt from SNAP work rules, making it easier for people without stable housing to get food assistance.
- Veterans: Would be exempt from the work requirement, so more veterans could access SNAP benefits without a work obligation.
- Former foster youth: Would be exempt up to age 24 if they were in foster care under State responsibility when they turned 18, or up to a higher age a State elected.
