Let’s Get to Work Act of 2025
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Let's Get to Work Act of 2025 expands work-requirement pressure across SNAP, public housing, and Housing Choice Voucher-style tenant-based assistance. It amends SNAP section 6(o) to change the time-limit framework for parents or household members responsible for dependent children, raises the older-adult exemption to over age 60, narrows dependent-child language to children under age 6, and adds exemptions for people responsible for dependent individuals and for spouses living with someone who is already complying. It then applies SNAP-style work requirements to nonexempt individuals living in public housing and to nonexempt individuals in families receiving tenant-based rental assistance.
Who Benefits and How
Work-requirement advocates benefit because the bill applies employment-related conditions to more benefit recipients. Federal nutrition and housing budget hawks benefit if stricter requirements reduce SNAP or rental-assistance participation. Public housing agencies benefit from a statutory framework they can use to condition housing assistance on work compliance. Employers seeking entry-level workers may benefit if more recipients enter the labor market to maintain benefits.
Who Bears the Burden and How
SNAP recipients with dependent children face tighter work-rule exposure unless they meet a listed exemption. Public housing residents must satisfy SNAP-style work requirements if they are not exempt. Tenant-based rental assistance families risk compliance burdens or benefit loss for nonexempt members. State SNAP agencies and public housing authorities must administer exemptions, compliance tracking, notices, and sanctions.
