The Democratic chairman of the House Agriculture Committee says the Trump administration's policy requiring states to enforce work-requirements for SNAP recipients "isn't going anywhere."
"I'll guarantee you it's not going to happen," U.S. Rep Collin Peterson said.
Peterson's comments came after U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue testified last week before the House Agriculture Committee about the state of the rural economy. Committee members asked him about the impact of tariffs on farmers, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, the effects of natural disasters, and the expansion of rural broadband access, among other questions.
The Trump administration is revising a 22-year-old federal regulation that has enabled states to acquire waivers exempting able-bodied adults without dependents (ABWDs) from having to work or undergo job training to receive taxpayer-funded food stamps.
