  • The House Agriculture Committee released nearly 100 pages for its portion of President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" on Monday evening.

House Republicans have introduced a new bill that aims to expand work requirements for food stamp recipients, drawing comparisons to a similar proposal made by former President Donald Trump. The legislation, spearheaded by Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., seeks to raise the age limit for able-bodied adults without dependents from 49 to 65, requiring them to work at least 20 hours per week to receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The bill also proposes to tighten existing exemptions and limit states' ability to waive work requirements. Proponents argue that the measure will encourage employment and reduce dependency on government assistance, while critics contend that it will harm vulnerable populations and fail to address the root causes of poverty. The proposal has reignited debates over welfare reform and the role of work requirements in social safety net programs.
