On July 4, 2025, the federal government passed a new law that makes significant changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as Link in Illinois. The changes could affect SNAP eligibility or require extra steps to receive SNAP benefits.

Many people between the ages of 18 and 64 who do not have dependents under the age of 14 will be required to work or volunteer a minimum of 80 hours per month to keep SNAP benefits.

SNAP recipients are encouraged to take action as soon as possible to avoid receiving a notice of compliance. SNAP participants who receive three warnings over a three-month period may lose their benefits long-term.

Use the Illinois screener to check that you are meeting the SNAP requirements: https://aberp.illinois.gov/screener/ABAWD?lang=EN
