MICHIGAN - SNAP recipients must now work, train, or volunteer for at least 20 hours per week, for a total of 80 hours per month, to receive benefits. The age limit for those work requirements is also being raised from 18-59 to 18-64 years old.  Previously, 32 states, including Michigan, waived the Able-Bodied Adult Without Dependents (ABAWD) work requirements. The new rules impose stricter guidelines for state exemptions and eliminate exemptions for veterans, homeless individuals, those formerly in foster care and parents with children above the age of 15.  According to the Congressional Budget Office, the new requirements will reduce the average monthly number of SNAP recipients by about 2.4 million over the next ten years.
