Just Harvest

Are you 18 and just graduated high school? Here's what you need to know about SNAP work reporting requirements.

SNAP recipients who do not meet the work reporting rules can only receive SNAP benefits for three months out of every 3 years. Learn more about how to keep your benefits, and find out if you are exempt at
