Johnson is a member of the House Agriculture Committee and intends his legislation to be folded into a farm bill that the committee will produce this year. Congress has a tradition of modifying SNAP benefits every five years in tandem with changes to farm subsidies. Republicans routinely demand stricter work requirements, but usually don’t get them.
McCarthy won the speakership partly by catering to members of the far-right House Freedom Caucus, and last week the group laid out demands for the debt limit fight that included work requirements for an unspecified number of federal programs. The farm bill could get entangled with the broader spending fight.
House Agriculture Committee Chair Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.) told HuffPost last week that some of his colleagues might not realize that SNAP already has work requirements.
“There’s a small number of folks, all of a sudden they’ve discovered the idea of work requirements for SNAP benefits,” Thompson said. “We’ve had those for decades.”
