SNAP at risk for 120,000 Illinois residents as new federal work rules take effect

Up to 120,000 Illinois residents could lose SNAP benefits starting May 1 due to new federal work requirements for able-bodied adults 18–64 without dependent children, who must work, volunteer, or participate in approved programs for at least 80 hours per month. If they don’t meet the rule, SNAP benefits can be limited to three months in a three-year period. Thousands of immigrants are affected; exemptions exist for some. IDHS says those who can meet the 80 hours in May should reapply to restore benefits in June, and food pantries expect higher demand as lines grow.

"Multiple Travel Advisories and Warnings Issued for Wintry Weather Across Counties"

Several counties in Indiana changed their travel status to yellow advisory due to concerns about freezing rain and slick surfaces, with some counties also issuing orange travel watches. Temperatures hovering between 32 and 35 degrees led to rain in much of the area, with the possibility of freezing precipitation impacting untreated surfaces in northern areas. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect until 10 a.m., with rainfall expected to taper off in the late morning and temperatures rising into the lower 40s in the afternoon. The Indiana Department of Homeland Security provides travel status updates for each county, with advisories ranging from yellow to red based on the severity of the situation.
