Despite federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits lapsing due to the ongoing government shutdown, West Virginia has announced new rules for recipients.
More people will now have to meet a 20-hour-per week work requirement to continue to receive SNAP benefits after federally mandated changes went into effect Nov. 1, 2025.
Previously, recipients aged out of the work requirements at 54, but the upper age exception was increased to 65 and older.
An exception based on responsibility to care for a dependent child now only applies to children under 14 years of age.
Exceptions for homeless individuals, veterans and those 24 and younger who aged out of foster care have been completely removed.
According to a press release from the West Virginia Department of Human Services (DoHS) Bureau for Family Assistance, the changes are required under federal law H.R.1 – better known as the One Big Beautiful Bill.
Close to 300,000 West Virginians, one third of which are children, rely on SNAP benefits. The work requirement changes are expected to affect approximately 36,000 SNAP recipients in West Virginia.
If you have questions, contact the DoHS Office of Constituent Services at 1-877-716-1212.

Continue Reading Take Me to More NewsWest Virginia is aging faster than the rest of the nation. More than 1 in 5 residents are over 65, and as young people leave the state, the gap between those who need care and those who can provide it keeps growing. At the same time, elder care has shifted from nursing homes to home-based support — but there aren’t enough workers to keep up. Us & Them explores the looming caregiving crisis and what it means for families, workers and the future of care.
