IL HR0834

Expresses support for reinstating SNAP work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) in Illinois.

Encourages the Department of Human Services to allow Illinois' federal waiver from the three-month ABAWD time limit to expire and not seek renewal.

Notes that ABAWDs currently can only receive SNAP benefits for three months in three years unless they work at least 80 hours per month, participate in qualifying education and training activities for 80 hours per month, or comply with a workforce program.

References that states like Maine, Georgia, and Alabama have not sought ABAWD time limit waivers, resulting in decreased SNAP participation.

Asserts that reinstating work requirements will encourage work-ready adults to be self-reliant and independent while boosting the state economy.
