Thanks for the opportunity to share our work, @donmoyn.bsky.social!
With @lizananat.bsky.social: Service work is highly volatile! OBBBA's work requirements will make it hard for hourly service workers and their families to get supports they need, even when they're working consistently.

Going to die on the hill (sorry, @bcdreyer.social) that we should call this BS red tape a โ€œJob Loss Penalty,โ€ as @matthewcort.land suggests.

This is also why states will struggle to reduce their SNAP error rates (no, washington post, it's not fraud). Eligibility and benefit determination is already *really* complicated. States will lose ~$160 billion in SNAP funding b/c of the complexity--not because of fraud.

New research from me&@agpines.bsky.social

Congress is pushing work requirements for Medicaid&SNAP. Youโ€™ve heard these kick eligible folks off (@pamherd.bsky.social @donmoyn.bsky.social), don't increase work&cause hunger (@laurenhlb.bsky.social @chloeneast.bsky.social). But wait there's more! 1/n

A primer on SNAP work requirements An explainer on work requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, summarizing the research on work requirements and their efficacy.

Do work requirements work? @laurenhlb.bsky.social and @chloeneast.bsky.social review the literature on SNAP work requirements and find that they โ€œdo not encourage work but do reduce program access.โ€
