The debt ceiling agreement reached to avoid the closure of the U.S. government includes a provision that will impact food stamp recipients.

The deal between Democrat President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy expands work requirements for some adults receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the official name for food stamps.

Currently, people ages 18-49 without disabilities who do not have dependents are required to work at least 20 hours a week or participate in a training program to receive SNAP benefits. Otherwise, benefits are capped at three months over a three-year period. The new deal would bump the upper age to 54.

Veterans, homeless people and young adults transitioning from foster care would be exempt from the work requirements, as are those with dependents. More than 42.5 million people received SNAP benefits in February, the latest data available, receiving an estimated $6 per person per day to help buy groceries.

The spending agreement includes a two-year budget deal that holds spending flat for 2024 except for increases on defense and veterans programs. Increases for 2025 would be capped at 1%.

It would also suspend the debt limit until January 2025, after the next presidential election.
