The Trump administration's budget bill seeks to impose stricter work requirements on Medicaid and food stamp recipients. Addressing able-bodied adults without dependents, it raises the upper age limit for work documentation from 54 to 64. This legislation aims to ensure that low-income individuals actively seek employment, which House Speaker Mike Johnson describes as a common-sense measure that could dissuade system abuse. Approximately two-thirds of Americans support these work requirements, emphasizing public backing for such reforms.
The Republican's 'big beautiful' budget package would add new work requirements for millions of Americans who rely on Medicaid and food stamps.
Tying federal aid in exchange for work is 'common sense,' according to House Speaker Mike Johnson, who it would encourage people to get jobs.
