Let’s Get to Work Act of 2025
HR 1198, the Let’s Get to Work Act of 2025, amends work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and extends them to public housing and tenant-based rental assistance programs. It increases the work requirement period from 3 to 6 months for non-exempt SNAP participants (ages 18-50 without children), while adding exemptions for parents with young children, individuals over 60, and married couples where one spouse complies with work rules. These changes apply directly to SNAP recipients and public housing tenants meeting the specified criteria, aligning housing program eligibility with SNAP’s updated work rules. The bill modifies existing provisions without creating new programs or altering benefit levels.
