Some states are already beginning to implement some of the new law&#8217;s food stamp restrictions, such as Pennsylvania, which is mandating the stricter work rules <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pa.gov\/agencies\/dhs\/resources\/snap\/snap-work-requirements-abawds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">starting Nov. 1<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The changes are arriving at a precarious time for many, with <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cpi-report-august-2025-inflation-prices-economy-trump-tariffs\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">grocery costs continuing to rise<\/a><\/span> and poverty rates inching higher for senior citizens and Black Americans, according to new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/library\/publications\/2025\/demo\/p60-287.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Census data<\/a>.

Additionally, people who are former foster youth between 18 to 24 years old, veterans or homeless are no longer exempt from the work requirements, as they were previously.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>People who don&#8217;t meet the work requirements will be limited to receiving food stamps for three months within a three-year period.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just off the bat, those are veterans, youths aging out of foster care \u2014 think about what it means to be unhoused, trying to get a job when you don&#8217;t have a place to shower,&#8221; Plata-Nino said. &#8220;Again, these populations are going to be worse off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Work requirements have been championed by Republican lawmakers because they say the rules encourage people to be gainfully employed or engaged in the community in exchange for food aid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But anti-hunger advocates argue the rules often bump people off the program because they may face difficulties in filing paperwork. Others point out that low-income workers may struggle to get enough hours from their employers to meet the new federal requirements, especially given the proliferation of <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/for-some-starbucks-workers-job-leaves-bitter-taste\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">&#8220;just in time&#8221; scheduling<\/a><\/span>, which slots workers into short shifts to reduce costs for employers.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the changes, most SNAP recipients who were required to work were doing so, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Stricter aid calculations<\/h2>\n<p>Under the new GOP tax and spending law, there are other changes going into the SNAP program that could reduce benefits for millions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For instance, SNAP applicants can deduct their utility costs from their incomes when calculating their benefits, which can help to increase their food-stamp allotments. But the new law now prevents food-stamp recipients from counting internet expenses as part of their household costs when determining benefits. That change went into effect as soon as the law was signed on July 4 by President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Roughly 65% of participating households will see their benefit drop by an average of $10 a month&#8221; because of the exclusion in using internet costs to calculate benefits, Vega said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a relatively small amount but for a household facing rising grocery cost and facing tough decisions, $10 can make a difference,&#8221; she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Longer-term, there are additional changes that could strain states&#8217; ability to provide food stamps, such as a shift in fiscal year 2027 requiring that states cover 75% of administrative costs, up from 50% now. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, states with high error rates \u2014 such as over- and underpayments of SNAP benefits \u2014 will also need to provide more funding for the program, starting in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>One concern, according to Vega, is whether states will have the financial resources to cover those additional costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s uncharted territory,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We do worry some states might decide they can&#8217;t take that level of liability and won&#8217;t participate in SNAP.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/aimee-picchi\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Aimee  Picchi<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Aimee Picchi is the associate managing editor for CBS MoneyWatch, where she covers business and personal finance.
