‼️‼️‼️If you’re on SNAP, Medicaid, or Section 8, please take a few minutes to read the actual sections of the Big Beautiful Bill that deal with your benefits. 🙂Don’t rely on TikToks or Facebook posts. Some of the info being shared is half-true—or just plain wrong.🙄🙈
You can search these sections to get straight to the facts:
👀Section 10102 – SNAP work & eligibility changes
👀Section 12005 – Medicaid work requirements
🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩New SNAP & Medicaid rules: 🚩🚩🚩
People age 18-64 must work 80 hours a month, volunteer or meet educational requirements.
Parents must meet work requirements if you have children 14 and older.
Kids age 14-18 must meet educational or work requirements.
Does not affect disabled, elderly or caregivers of disabled.
Eligibility is determined every 6 months with proof of required employment or education.
‼️‼️SNAP & Medicaid 80‑Hour Work Requirement (Ages 18–64)
🚩😭The recently passed “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” (signed July 3, 2025) mandates that able-bodied adults ages 19–64 must complete at least 80 hours per month of work, volunteering, job training, or half-time schooling to maintain Medicaid eligibility .
🚩The same 80‑hour requirement applies to SNAP beneficiaries between ages 18–64 (up from 18–64) .
🚩Exemptions include disabled individuals, elderly, caregivers of dependents, pregnant women, and people with substance-use disorders or certain medical conditions .

2. 🚩Verification & Frequency
• Medicaid eligibility checks will be required every six months (almost doubling from annual reviews), and recipients must document compliance (work/education) to stay enrolled.
3. 🚩Parents of Teens (Age 13+)
• The law doesn’t single out parents of 13+ kids specifically. Instead, it exempts parents and caregivers of dependent children, regardless of age, from the requirements .
⸻
4. 🚩Teens Aged 14–18
• Your statement (kids 14–18 must meet educational or work requirements) isn’t supported by the bill. The law does not impose new mandates specifically on this age group.
⸻
5. 🚩Disabled, Elderly & Caregivers
• These exemptions are confirmed. Individuals with disabilities, elderly people, caregivers of dependents, pregnant people, and those in treatment are not subject to these work or education requirements
