Veto Override: Cutting Food Assistance for Older Workers
This bill expands SNAP work requirements to cover workers up to age 64, strips food assistance exemptions for veterans and homeless individuals, and permanently blocks the Governor from restoring those protections during a recession without an act of the legislature. Workers aged 50-64 who lose their jobs — especially those in physically demanding trades — face a three-month cutoff on food assistance even when age discrimination and injury make finding new work difficult. Labor opposes this veto override because it punishes workers in legitimate job transitions and removes a critical safety net tool during economic downturns.
