abstract: 'This study explores the impact of work requirements for the Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on the labor supply of able-bodied
adults without dependents, exploiting variation in the work exemption
across areas over time as well as the age criteria for the work
requirement. I find that suspending work requirements does not
discourage employment; a decrease in employment of more than 1.4
percentage points among people who are potentially affected by the
exemptions can be ruled out with a 95\% confidence interval. I also find
evidence of a reduction in hours of work among older prime-age workers
due to the work exemption. Further analysis uncovers two reasons why the
work exemption has little effect on employment. First, many new SNAP
participants who enrolled due to the exemption are the long-term
non-employed who have no labor supply to reduce. Second, the generous
income deductions in benefit calculation act as a work incentive by
significantly lowering the effective benefit reduction rate at very low
income (\$0-600). These findings indicate that the SNAP work requirement
may not achieve the intended goal of promoting employment; instead it
may increase the risk of disadvantaged individuals failing to receive
the assistance they need.'
