WASHINGTON (KNWA/KFTA) — Senator John Boozman introduced an amendment that would change who can receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits. The amendment was a requirement needed pre-COVID.
Boozman’s proposed changes would “require able-bodied adults without dependents to either work or participate in a work program at least 20 hours per week to receive SNAP benefits beyond three months,” according to a press release.
In March 2020, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act was signed into law pausing requirements needed for SNAP benefits.
