Wyoming work requirements for SNAP and Medicaid

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

🛒 SNAP in Wyoming

Called SNAP, run by Wyoming Department of Family Services (DFS).

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 Wyoming

Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid, so the new federal Medicaid work rule mostly doesn’t apply here.

Run by Wyoming Department of Health (WDH), Division of Healthcare Financing.

📌 Non-expansion state; no Medicaid expansion work requirement. SNAP: no ABAWD time-limit waiver in effect as of 2026-10-01 per USDA FNS; time limit applies statewide. No online SNAP application (paper via DFS); WES portal is Medicaid/CHIP only.

Where to report and upload proof

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

Volunteering or community service (usually with a nonprofit or public agency)
