Bill overview
The America Works Act of 2025 aims to tighten work requirements for recipients of SNAP benefits who don't have dependents. Specifically, it raises the upper age limit for these work requirements from 55 to 65, restricts the age of dependent children eligible for exemptions to under 7, and eliminates exemptions for homeless individuals, veterans, and certain foster care youth. The bill also changes how states can apply for unemployment rate-based exemptions, requiring them to use county-level data instead of broader area statistics.
