On April 1, at least half a million Americans will wake up no longer
eligible for the food assistance benefits that have, for decades, been a
crucial lifeline for the poor in a harsh economic landscape.
A clause in the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act
limited Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to
three months in any given 36-month period for unemployed adults between
the ages of 18 and 49 who are not working or enrolled in a job-training
or community service program at least 20 hours per week.
