New Hampshire work requirements for SNAP and Medicaid

What the 80-hour rule means in New Hampshire, who runs it, and where to send your proof.

🛒 SNAP in New Hampshire

Called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP / Food Stamp Program), run by New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Division of Economic Stability.

Adults 18–64 without a child under 14 at home need 80 hours a month of work, volunteering or training, or an exemption, to keep SNAP past 3 months in 3 years.

🩺 Medicaid in New Hampshire

Expansion coverage is called Granite Advantage Health Care Program. New Hampshire expanded Medicaid, so the work rule applies to adults 19–64 in the expansion group, starting January 1, 2027.

Run by New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).

📌 Granite Advantage work and community engagement requirements start 2027-01-01 (~47,600 members, at first 2027 redetermination). The 2019 Granite Advantage work requirement is defunct. SNAP: no ABAWD time-limit waiver in effect as of 2026-10-01 per USDA FNS; time limit applies statewide.

Where to report and upload proof

Always follow the deadlines in the letters New Hampshire sends you. If you get a notice about work requirements, answer it before the due date, even if you think you’re exempt.
