ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Monroe County is holding more town halls to help people learn about the new work requirements for some recipients of federal food assistance.
Able-bodied adults without dependents are now required to work or volunteer to receive SNAP benefits because of changes in federal policy. However, some people are exempt. The next town hall is happening on Thursday, April 16, at the Rochester Public Library on South Avenue. It runs from 5 to 6:30 p.m.
Here is the schedule for the rest of the SNAP town halls. County Executive Adam Bello says they’re a chance to get facts, ask questions, and protect your benefits once you rectify them:
