"Important update for SNAP recipients: New federal work requirements may affect adults ages 18 to 64 who don't have children under 14. If this applies to you, you may need to report work, training, or volunteer hours each month to keep your benefits. Some people may qualify for an exemption. Timelines vary by state, so don't wait to find out if you're affected. For more information, visit the USDA SNAP Work Requirements page, or contact your local SNAP office or call 211."
