NEW GOLDEN ERA AFFORDABILITY UPDATE: "More than 44K Nevadans to lose SNAP benefits for not meeting work requirements"

More than 44K Nevadans to lose SNAP benefits for not meeting work requirements

https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/nevada/more-than-44k-nevadans-to-lose-snap-benefits-for-not-meeting-work-requirements-3711092/

Nearly 45,000 Nevada food stamp recipients who haven’t confirmed mandatory work requirements were notified that they would lose Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits at the end of the month, according to the state.

Under new federal guidelines taking effect March 1, adults as old as 64 who are enrolled in SNAP, able to work and don’t have dependents under the age of 14 are required to spend 20 hours a week working, searching for a job or volunteering.

The Nevada Division of Social Services said Monday that it had notified 44,700 SNAP recipients that they would no longer receive benefits beginning Sunday.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 expanded the SNAP work requirements.

Veterans, young adults who’ve aged out of foster care and the homeless population will no longer have a work requirement exemption, the division of social services said.

I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment, and didn't post it when it happened, because it wasn't one of Trump's "high profile" cabinet members who said it. Might have been a Congressional Republican.

But the comment was along the lines of what a neat guy Trump is for reducing the number of people on SNAP.

So it's already being said, and yeah...it's one more "I'm not getting the credit I deserve" moment for Needy Amin.

This is how his lies start. Someone says it, he repeats it. Fox advertises it, He repeats it again. Sometimes a big burly man will come up to him and say sir, you have ...

But nah, probably not worth it. Full people don't look good on CNN the way explosions do.
