What’s Changing with SNAP?

  • If you’re 18–53, you may need to show you’re working, volunteering, or meeting an exemption.

  • You meet the rule if you work or volunteer 80 hours a month (20 hours per week).

  • If you don’t update your case, you could lose benefits — even if you qualify.

  •  You may qualify even if you don’t work or volunteer. Common exemptions include:

    • People aged 0–17

    • People aged 54 or older

    • Caretakers for a child aged 0–17

    • Pregnant people

    • People with a medical condition or receiving SSI or SSDI

    • People needed at home for another household member who is ill or incapacitated

    • People who are homeless

    • People in a drug treatment program

    • People receiving unemployment

    • Veterans

    • …and more!

I didn’t know I already qualified for an exemption. Fabric helped me send in my proof and I kept my SNAP benefits. It was quick and easy.
