Medicaid and SNAP work rules by state

When your state starts checking Medicaid hours and which form proves volunteer hours for SNAP. Tap a state for how often it checks, how far back it looks, and more. Every fact links to where we found it.

Last checked

Medicaid: the federal rule covers adults 19 to 64 who got Medicaid through expansion. States must start by January 1, 2027, and some started early. If your state didn't expand Medicaid, the new rule mostly doesn't apply to you. How it works

SNAP: the rule already applies in every state, but each state decides how volunteer hours are counted and proven. How it works
