On January 1, 2016 the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, otherwise known as the SNAP/EBT program, has changed its eligibility requirements. Such criteria changes will effect those who are 18-49, homeless, underemployed, unemployed for extended amounts of time, and citizens who are pending disability. These new changes will allow very few citizens to receive SNAP benefits for a period of 3 months in a 3 years.
The new criteria is biased and does not fix the problem but only worsens it. Mothers who receive SNAP are not subjected to the new special work requirements.
