SNAP Work Requirement:
What to Know
New SNAP work rules are coming.
Some adults ages 18–64 who do not meet an exception will need to work or volunteer to keep their SNAP benefits. If you’re not sure whether an exception applies to you, we can help you check.

Important timing note: These changes will not affect SNAP benefits right away. The new rules only apply when someone applies for SNAP or renews their case on or after Jan. 1, 2026. For most people, the requirement would begin the month after their renewal or application, giving families time to understand and prepare.
