SNAP work requirement change effective Nov. 1, 2025, for ABAWDs

The expanded SNAP work requirement change was effective upon the signing of federal H.R. 1 - Big Beautiful Bill Act. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service allowed states an implementation window up to Nov. 1, 2025, and Georgia DHS is working toward that date.  

DHS will communicate directly with clients regarding their case, and any required action and timeline will be outlined in that communication. DHS encourages clients to regularly check the notices section of their Georgia Gateway account for updates. More info coming soon.
