Let's Get to Work Act of 2023
This bill repeals a temporary waiver for SNAP (food stamp) work requirements and reinstates a 6-month work requirement for certain adults in households with dependent children, replacing the previous 3-month rule. It expands exemptions for parents caring for children under 6 and adds new provisions for households where a spouse is already meeting work requirements. The bill also extends these SNAP work rules to public housing residents and tenants in housing assistance programs. These changes directly affect millions of low-income SNAP recipients and housing program participants who are work-eligible adults in families. The policy shifts focus toward requiring consistent work participation in these benefit programs.
