"Kansas Implements New Work Requirements for Food Assistance Recipients Amid Veto Overrides"

While the Biden administration and Senate Democrats have vowed to block the House GOP's tighter work requirements on food stamp recipients, policies narrowing access to nutrition assistance are advancing in a handful of GOP-led states. Kansas lawmakers voted to override Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto of a bill that puts new limits on state residents enrolled in the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP. The new law, set to take effect in July, tightens work requirements for older Kansans to keep or qualify for SNAP benefits.
