Debt Ceiling Deal Expands SNAP Work Requirements, Concerns Anti-Hunger Groups

The debt limit agreement raises the age for SNAP work requirements from 49 to 54.
The proposal exempts some groups like veterans and youth aging out of foster care.
Anti-hunger advocates argue the changes won't achieve much and will hurt low-income families.
The requirements are meant to encourage employment but research shows little effect.
The agreement makes other changes to expand SNAP and welfare access for some groups.
