HR 1452 United States House · 119th Congress

Ending the Cycle of Dependency Act of 2025

This bill would change work requirements for food stamp benefits (SNAP) and establish new work requirements for Medicaid. For SNAP, it removes exemptions for people over 60 and adds exemptions for children under 6. For Medicaid, it requires adults to work 80 hours per month, do community service, or join a work program to maintain coverage, with exemptions for pregnant people, caregivers of young children, students, and others. States could stop Medicaid benefits for individuals who fail to meet this requirement for three consecutive months.
