A new list of people the work requirement does not reach
What the document says“Exceptions.--Paragraph (2) shall not apply to an individual if the individual is--”
The section strikes paragraph (3) of section 6(o) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2015(o)) and inserts a new list of seven exceptions: a person under 18 or over 65 years of age; a person medically certified as physically or mentally unfit for employment; a parent or other household member responsible for a dependent child under 14 years of age; a person otherwise exempt under subsection (d)(2); a pregnant woman; an Indian or an Urban Indian as those terms are defined in paragraphs (13) and (28) of section 4 of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act; and a California Indian described in section 809(a) of that Act.
What the document actually says“Exceptions.--Paragraph (2) shall not apply to an individual if the individual is--”
The work rule does not apply to some people. The list that follows says who they are.
The list names seven groups. It covers people under 18 and over 65. It covers a parent caring for a child under 14. It also covers pregnant women.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
