Let’s Get to Work Act of 2025

This bill, known as the "Let's Get to Work Act of 2025," significantly amends the work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). It extends the period during which a parent or guardian of a dependent child can receive SNAP benefits without meeting work requirements from three months to six months . However, the bill also narrows several existing exemptions, removing the exemption for individuals between 50 and 60 years of age and limiting the dependent child exemption to only those caring for children under six years of age . A new exemption is introduced for an individual responsible for a dependent if their spouse is already complying with work requirements. Beyond SNAP, the legislation expands the application of these modified work requirements to federal housing assistance programs . Individuals residing in public housing or receiving tenant-based rental assistance will now be subject to the same work requirements outlined in the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008. This means that those not specifically exempted under the revised SNAP rules would also need to meet work requirements to maintain their housing assistance. The intent is to align work expectations across multiple federal assistance programs.
