New SNAP work requirements may affect 100,000+ Arizonans, food banks prepare

Congress expanded the work requirements to receive SNAP benefits. "Able bodied" adults without dependents must prove they are working, in a training program or volunteering 80 hours a month to qualify for SNAP benefits now. "My main concern is those folks finding work at a time when unemployment was also incredibly high. It's at least in my view, that SNAP has been to kind of keep people going through those hard times. And yeah, if you've been struggling to find a job already, yeah, I can't find that very easy," Cornes said.
