Summary
The proposed rule would codify USDA's regulatory implementation of provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 (OBBB) changing the three-month time limit for certain participants subject to work requirements in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). These changes include modifying the list of exceptions from the time limit for certain populations; updating requirements for areas to qualify for waivers of the time limit; and adding the temporary good faith exemptions in Alaska and Hawaii. Additionally, this rule proposes to strengthen requirements for requesting waivers of the time limit and revise the SNAP definition of a homeless individual.
