Check if the SNAP work rules apply to you

Because of new policy changes, many adults on SNAP now have to meet work rules, while others may be exempt.

It takes most people 10 minutes or less to complete this form.

What are the SNAP work rules?

People who have to follow the SNAP work rules must do at least 80 hours of work activities a month or earn at least $935.25 a month.

Work activities include:

• Working a job for money, including self-employment or gigs
• Working in exchange for something like food, housing, or other services
• Volunteering
• Participating in job training or SNAP Employment & Training programs

If you do not do work activities for 80 hours a month, you can only get SNAP benefits for up to 3 months every 3 years (36 months).
