How SNAP’s work requirements is hurting one West Virginia woman

The new stricter work requirements for SNAP, introduced under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, are putting significant strain on recipients like West Virginia's Lisa, who struggles to meet the mandated 80 hours per month of work, training, or volunteering. This change has led to reduced benefits for many, raising concerns about the program's effectiveness in alleviating poverty. Critics argue that these requirements may disproportionately affect those with limited job prospects, highlighting a broader issue about balancing welfare support with the need for self-sufficiency.
