This bill, known as the "SNAP Back Act of 2025" , proposes to amend the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to expand exemptions from Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) work requirements. It specifically seeks to reinstate these exemptions for certain vulnerable populations. The legislation adds three new categories of individuals who would be exempt from these work requirements. These categories include homeless individuals , veterans , and former foster youth who are 24 years of age or younger and were in foster care at age 18 or older. This change aims to ensure that these groups can access essential food assistance without facing additional work mandates.
