New federal rules are changing SNAP work requirements for some New Yorkers. Certain adults may need to work, attend job training, or volunteer to keep their benefits.
You may be affected if you are:
- Between ages 18–64
- Not living with a child under 14
- Not exempt due to a health condition or other reason
If these rules apply to you, you may need to take action each month to avoid losing your SNAP benefits.
