SB87 prohibits the Alabama Department of Human Resources from seeking federal waivers for work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents on SNAP and requires the SNAP program to include all federal work requirements, effective October 1, 2014.
It bars the Commissioner from requesting waivers of federal work requirements for ABAWDs who are SNAP applicants or recipients. It requires the Department of Human Resources to ensure that Alabama’s SNAP program includes all federal work requirements for ABAWDs. This change aligns Alabama’s SNAP rules with federal expectations and affects how ABAWDs must participate in work-related activities to receive benefits. The act becomes effective October 1, 2014.
