Adults ages 55 to 64, and parents without children younger than 14, will be required to prove they’re working, volunteering or participating in job training for at least 80 hours a month to keep their SNAP benefits, according to IDHS.
These groups were exempt from work requirements prior to President Donald Trump signing into law last year the sweeping “One Big Beautiful Bill.” It also repealed work exemptions for homeless individuals and veterans. Up to 340,000 Illinoisans could be affected, IDHS said.
“Trump’s budget bill is designed to deliberately prevent Americans and Illinoisans from receiving assistance through the SNAP program by implementing new requirements that burden states and individuals who rely on this 100 percent federally funded benefits resource,” IDHS said in a statement.
SNAP participants who qualify for work-requirement exemptions — like having a child under 14 or a medically certified disability — should alert IDHS immediately to avoid losing benefits, said Camerin Mattson, a spokesperson for the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Those who don’t qualify for an exemption will need to prove they’ve met the work requirement.
