Work requirements added for accessing more federal benefits
Theresa Gibbs, who lost her job as a school bus driver, is enrolled in both Medicaid and SNAP. She likely would be exempt from the work mandate because she has three children under age 14. However, Gibbs said she is still applying for jobs.
“I don’t think people should just live off the state if they’re perfectly capable to work,” said Gibbs, 34, of Jefferson City, Missouri.
But the changes worry others.
Amanda Hinton, 39, of St. Martins, Missouri, receives Medicaid and SNAP benefits. She puts in enough hours at a part-time gas station job to likely meet the new requirements, but is concerned that her fibromyalgia, which causes pain and fatigue, may keep her from working for a time.
Sounds like you need to work full ⏲️
