A New rule for CalFresh or SNAP Benefits could impact over two-and-a-half million people in California. The change affects those between the ages of 18 and 64, unless they have a child younger than 14. That group will now have to work an average of 20 hours per week (80/mth) , with some exceptions. And if they don't, they can only get benefits for three months every three years. The change was supposed to go into effect in 2020, but California has been exempting residents. Under President Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, exemptions are no longer allowed. Critics say the changes will hurt people that are already struggling.
