The USDA has made it clear that SNAP recipients ages 60-64 qualify for the same work requirement exemptions as younger recipients. We ask ODJFS to return to JCARR, as the bipartisan committee members suggested, & revise the state's rule. https://t.co/FZ3iYE5r8f

After unprecedented cuts to the SNAP program in the H.R.1 megabill, participation fell by more than 3 million people nationwide in just 6 months. Cuts have shifted significant new costs to states, and economic conditions aren't improving. https://t.co/GoCTQn2oYK
