Let's Get to Work Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill changes the rules about who must meet work requirements to receive food assistance through SNAP and to live in certain government-assisted housing. Right now, able-bodied adults without dependents must meet work requirements to get SNAP benefits, and this bill raises the age limit for those requirements from 55 to 60 and says that only parents of children under 6 (instead of under 18) would be exempt from those requirements. It also gives parents with young children up to 6 months instead of 3 months to receive benefits without meeting the work rules, and it creates an exception for someone caring for a dependent who is married to and lives with someone already meeting the work requirements. Finally, the bill applies these same SNAP work requirements to families living in public housing or receiving housing vouchers from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
