To keep or become eligible for SNAP benefits, some people must meet work requirements that include working, volunteering, or participating in an education or training program for at least 20 hours a week (or 80 hours each month) AND report that they are meeting these work requirements. If requirements are not met, recipients will only be able to receive SNAP for three months within a three-year period.
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services has launched a new online screening tool to determine if recipients are required to meet SNAP work requirements. Recipients can apply for an exemption using the PA-1921 form.
