Nevada to Enforce New SNAP Work Requirements Affecting Nearly 45,000 Recipients from March 2026

Starting March 1, 2026, Nevada will implement new SNAP rules under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed in July 2025. Approximately 45,000 to 44,700 recipients, including veterans, homeless individuals, former foster youth, and parents with children aged 14 or older, will lose previous exemptions and must meet work or training requirements of at least 20 hours per week to maintain benefits. These changes align with federal SNAP mandates, and beneficiaries are advised to review updated guidelines to understand their eligibility.
