Good news for people who use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): your payments will go up a little this month because of the latest changes in the cost of living.
A change has been made to the meaning of a “able-bodied adult without dependents.” The age range has changed from 52 to 54 years old. This is the last change made by the Fiscal Responsibility Act, which was a big part of putting the debt cap on hold until 2025 and getting rid of Kevin McCarthy, the Republican Speaker of the House.
SNAP and the new ABAWD time limit age rise
- Working at least 80 hours a month
- Enrolled in an education or training program
These rules are going to stay in place until 2030.
This will mean that most families will get a few extra dollars each month from SNAP. People in Alaska, the Virgin Islands, and Guam, on the other hand, will get bigger checks because food costs more there. Hawaii recipients will get less after COLA, but they will still get more than people in the 48 contiguous states.
