✅ 1. SNAP & Medicaid 80‑Hour Work Requirement (Ages 19–64)
• The recently passed “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” (signed July 3, 2025) mandates that able-bodied adults ages 19–64 must complete at least 80 hours per month of work, volunteering, job training, or half-time schooling to maintain Medicaid eligibility  .
• The same 80‑hour requirement applies to SNAP beneficiaries between ages 18–64 (up from 18–54) .
• Exemptions include disabled individuals, elderly, caregivers of dependents, pregnant women, and people with substance-use disorders or certain medical conditions .

✍️ 2. Verification & Frequency
• Medicaid eligibility checks will be required every six months (almost doubling from annual reviews), and recipients must document compliance (work/education) to stay enrolled .
• For SNAP, increased state accountability and administrative checks are part of the policy, though specifics on timing are less detailed ().

👨👧 3. Parents of Teens (Age 13+)
• The law doesn’t single out parents of 13+ kids specifically. Instead, it exempts parents and caregivers of dependent children, regardless of age, from the requirements .
⸻
👦 4. Teens Aged 14–18
• Your statement (kids 14–18 must meet educational or work requirements) isn’t supported by the bill. The law does not impose new mandates specifically on this age group.
⸻
🩺 5. Disabled, Elderly & Caregivers
• These exemptions are confirmed. Individuals with disabilities, elderly people, caregivers of dependents, pregnant people, and those in treatment are not subject to these work or education requirements  .
