Summary
Idaho’s new SNAP rules hit hard: able-bodied adults without dependents now face an 80-hour monthly work or volunteer requirement, with most previous exemptions—like veterans and homeless individuals—gone. Parental exemptions now cap at age 14 instead of 18, and while Native Americans and tribal members got new protections, the upper age limit for general exemptions rose to 64. With over 130,000 SNAP recipients, even small shifts could mean thousands losing benefits—though the state doesn’t track exact fallout. Designed to boost workforce participation, the real impact remains uncertain as Idahoans navigate this complex change.
