SNAP BENEFITS

**Here’s what’s on the table**:
A three-month deadline to find 20+ hours of work—or lose your groceries.
Raising the work requirement age from 54 to 64—forcing *3 million* older Americans to scramble or starve.
Targeting single parents with kids over 7—even though part-time jobs that accommodate school hours, sick days, and snow days are rare, and child care here costs $150–$250 a week.
This will hit *our* people, hard.
