Those work requirements in the One Big Beautiful Bill kicked in on February 1, and Good Morning Chicago has posted a piece on TikTok saying that 42 million people across the country who rely on SNAP benefits could be affected. There's even a website where you can check to see if you're exempt from the new requirements.
ABC News posted a piece over the weekend warning that millions of Americans could lose their benefits. Just as a reminder, the "S" in SNAP stands for supplemental. It seems a lot of people haven't picked up on that.
ABC News (@ABC) ~ New work requirements for SNAP are set to go into effect on Feb. 1, and it could mean that millions of Americans lose their benefits.

Work requirements, eh?
@Chicago1Ray (@Chicago1Ray) ~ GREAT NEWS! 🚨 Stricter work requirements went into effect today for anyone collecting SNAP benefits. People under asylum or refugee status are no longer eligible at all. Everyone has to work (80) hours a month, even the homeless. My vote counted because this is what I voted for.
BlueBloodBulldog (@AlapahaBulldog1) ~ This should have always been the case. SNAP is supposed to be a temporary benefit, NOT a forever entitlement.
The Shmoog (@thebigshmoog) ~ If I have to work for their food, there should at least be a good faith effort on their end as well. Otherwise, you end up with Animal Farm ... which is why that story is never read in schools anymore.
