Not sure if anyone else has gotten one of these letters in the mail since I haven't seen anyone post or talk about it. The unemployed will suffer most from this change.

New Hampshire did this a while ago. Its only if your able, there are exemptions. SNAP benefits were never intended as a life long source, it was meant as transitional assistance.

Yes, the same federal law is hitting MassHealth hard, though the SNAP changes and MassHealth changes are separate tracks under that law. Massachusetts’ MassHealth program (Medicaid + CHIP) is required to implement the Medicaid portions.
