Advocates of hunger-fighting organizations call out that the Farm Bill 2023 could make SNAP recipients struggle to meet new rules. According to Public News Service, Congress is dealing with increasing work requirements, specifically the SNAP recipients, as part of the Farm Bill 2023.
“If they have to work ‘x’ amount of hours a week, if they have to do a certain amount of job searches a week.
