America Works Act of 2025

This bill changes work requirements for adults without dependents who receive SNAP food assistance. The bill raises the age limit for these work requirements from 55 to 65, meaning more older adults would need to meet work requirements. It also limits the exemption for parents to only those caring for children under age 7, instead of under age 18. The bill removes exemptions that currently exist for homeless people, veterans, and young adults who aged out of foster care. Additionally, it makes it harder for states to get waivers from these requirements by requiring unemployment rates to be measured by county rather than larger areas, and by removing the option for states to get waivers based on lack of available jobs.
