Section 11(e)(10) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2020(e)(10)) is amended by striking : Provided and all that follows through hearing; at the end and inserting a semicolon. The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following: Subject to paragraph (3), a family unit with adult members that is required to participate in work activation under subsection

(e)during a full month of participation in the supplemental nutrition assistance program shall fulfill the following levels of work activation during that month: Each program-eligible adult without dependent children who is required to participate in work activation by a State agency under subsection

(e)for a particular month shall be required to perform a minimum of 36 hours of work activation for that month, including at least— a minimum of 16 hours of supervised onsite work activation; and a minimum of 20 additional hours of— onsite work activation; approved offsite work activation; or a combination of both. Work-capable adult family heads in program-eligible single parent families with dependent children who are required by a State agency to participate in work activation under subsection

(e)shall be required to perform a minimum of 72 hours of work activation per month, including at least— a minimum of 32 hours of supervised onsite work activation; and a minimum of 40 additional hours of— onsite work activation; approved offsite work activation; or a combination of both. Subject to clause (ii), each program-eligible married couple with dependent children that is required by a State agency to participate in work activation under subsection

(i)shall be a single joint obligation for the married couple as a whole in which the activities of both married partners shall be combined together and counted jointly. The work activation requirement for a work-capable married couple family with dependent children may be fulfilled by— 72 or more hours of appropriate activity by the family head; 72 or more hours of appropriate activity by the married spouse of the family head; or the combined activity of the family head and married spouse of the family head which when added together equal or exceed 72 hours. Neither the family head nor the married spouse of the family in a married couple family with dependent children shall be subject to a separate work activation requirement as individuals. Notwithstanding subparagraphs (A), (B), and

(C)of paragraph (1), a State may count any program-eligible family unit as fulfilling the full engagement requirement of the family unit for a month, for purposes of paragraphs

(3)and

(4)of subsection (e), if the combined sum of paid employment and work activation by work-capable adults within the family unit in that month equals at least 160 hours. If the combined sum of hours of paid employment and work activation by work-capable individuals within a program-eligible family unit is at least 160 hours in a given month— the family unit has fulfilled the Federal work activation standards of the family unit for that month; and the State agency need not require members of the family unit to perform additional work activation during that month. A program-eligible family unit shall be subject to a pro-rated work activation standard, if the family unit— receives a pro-rated monthly allotment during the initial month of enrollment under section 8(c); and is required by the State to participate in the work activation program during that month. For purposes of paragraph (1), the term pro-rated work activation standard means a standard that equals a number of hours of work activity of a family unit that bears the same proportion to the work activation requirement for the family unit for a full month under subsection

(a)as the proportion that— the pro-rated monthly allotment received by the household for the partial month under section 8(c); bears to the full allotment the same household would receive for a complete month. For purposes of fulfilling the pro-rated work activation requirement during an initial month of enrollment in the supplemental nutrition assistance program, only those hours of adult work activation that occurred during the portion of the month in which the family unit was participating in the supplemental nutrition assistance program shall be counted. If 1 or more members of a program-eligible family unit are required to participate in the work activation program under subsection

(e)in a calendar month and 1 or more individuals fail to fulfill the work activation standards under subsection

(a)or

(b)for that month— no member of the family unit shall be eligible to receive supplemental nutrition assistance benefits during the subsequent calendar month; and except as provided in subparagraph (B), the State agency shall not provide the supplemental nutrition assistance benefit payment for all members of the family unit that otherwise would have been issued at the beginning of the next month. Except as provided in clauses

(ii)and (iii), if it is administratively infeasible for the State to not provide the supplemental nutrition assistance benefit that would be issued at the beginning of the first month after the month of noncompliance, the State shall not provide the payment to all members of the family unit that otherwise would have been made at the beginning of the second month after the month of noncompliance. The sanction of benefits shall occur not later than 32 days after the end of the month of noncompliance. At least 1 monthly payment to all members of the family unit shall be not provided for each month of noncompliance under subparagraph (A). If a family unit has had the monthly benefit of the family unit not provided due to noncompliance with a work activation requirement under paragraph (1), the family unit shall not be eligible to receive future benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program until— the 1 or more work-capable members of the family unit have— successfully participated in a work activation program under subsection

(e)for at least 4 consecutive, subsequent weeks; and fulfilled the work activation standard for the family unit for that same 4-week period by maintaining an hourly total of participation in work activation that is at least equal to the appropriate monthly totals for hours of participation provided in subsection (a); the family unit no longer contains any able-bodied, work-capable adults; or the family unit maintains at least 120 hours of paid employment during the 4-week period. The resumed benefits provided under subparagraph

(A)shall not restore or compensate for the benefits that were not provided due to the sanction imposed under paragraph (1). Participation in work activation activities under this section shall not be— considered to be employment; or subject to any law pertaining to wages, compensation, hours, or conditions of employment under any law administered by the Secretary of Labor. Each State participating in the supplemental nutrition assistance program shall carry out a work activation program. The goals of each work activation program shall be— to encourage and assist able-bodied, work-capable adult recipients of supplemental nutrition assistance to obtain paid employment; to reduce dependence on government assistance; and to ensure that able-bodied, work-capable adult recipients of supplemental nutrition assistance make a contribution to society and the taxpayers in exchange for assistance received. To accomplish the goals described in subparagraph (A), each State shall require able-bodied, work-capable adult recipients of supplemental nutrition assistance who are unemployed or under-employed to engage in work activation. Subject to subparagraph (D), each State that receives supplemental nutrition assistance program funding shall be required to meet, for the work activation programs of the State— a work activation participation rate for work-capable adults without dependent children, as described in subparagraph (B); and a total recipient work activity participation rate, as described in subparagraph (C). The average monthly percent of program-eligible work-capable without dependent children who shall be required to maintain full engagement in work activation under subparagraph (A)(i) shall be— for each performance measurement period in fiscal year 2014, 50 percent of all program-eligible adults without dependent children; and for each performance measurement period in fiscal year 2015 and each subsequent fiscal year, 85 percent of all program-eligible adults without dependent children who are eligible for work activation. The average monthly number of program-eligible family units who shall be required to maintain full engagement in work activation in a given month shall be— for each performance measurement period in fiscal year 2015, the lesser of— the product obtained by multiplying— the State share of work-capable family units in calendar year 2010; by 2,000,000; or 85 percent of the average monthly number of total program-eligible family units in the State; and for each performance measurement period in fiscal year 2016 and each subsequent fiscal year, the lesser of— the product obtained by multiplying— the State share of work-capable family units in calendar year 2010; by 4,000,000; or 85 percent of the average monthly number of total family units eligible for participation in work activation in the State in the calendar year. If the total number of individuals in a State who are required to participate in work activation under the work-capable adults without dependent children work activation requirement described in subparagraph

(B)is greater than the number of individuals in the State who are required to participate under the overall participation rate requirement described in subparagraph (C), the State shall be required to fulfill only the requirement for work-capable adults without dependent children. For purposes of determining the compliance of a State with the participation rate standards in paragraph (3), a State shall count in each month the number of program-eligible family units that maintained full engagement in work activation in that month. For purposes of subparagraph (A), a family unit shall be counted as having maintained full engagement in work activation in a given month if the family unit was— a program-eligible family unit that performed sufficient work activation in the month to meet the work activation standards provided in subsection

(a)or (b); a family unit that did not qualify for supplemental nutrition assistance benefits in a current month because of a prior sanction but that qualified for a resumption of benefits due to work activation performed in the month that meets the standards provided in subsection (c)(2); or a program-eligible family unit that— received supplemental nutrition assistance benefits in a given month; was required by a State agency to participate in work activation in that month; failed to perform sufficient work activation in that month to meet the standards in subsection

(a)or (b); and was sanctioned by an elimination of supplemental nutrition assistance benefits in the 1 or more immediately succeeding months, in accordance with subsection (c)(1). For purposes of clause (i)(III), a family unit that was required to participate in work activation but failed to perform sufficient activity to meet the standard shall be counted as having maintained full engagement in work activation only in the first month of noncompliance. Except as provided in clause (i)(II), the family unit shall not be counted as maintaining full engagement in work activation in any subsequent month in which the family unit was subject to the sanction for noncompliance. Except as provided in subparagraph (B)(i)(II) concerning family units that qualify for resumption of benefits, a family unit that does not receive supplemental nutrition assistance benefits in a given month because the benefits of the family unit have been previously terminated in accordance with subsection (c)(1) shall not be counted in that month— as a family unit that has maintained full engagement in work activation; or as a program-eligible family unit. Beginning in fiscal year 2015 and for each subsequent fiscal year, each State shall count the monthly average number of program-eligible family units that maintain full engagement in work activation during each performance measurement period. If the monthly average number of program-eligible family units that maintain full engagement in a State is not sufficient to fulfill 1 or both of the relevant performance standards in subparagraphs

(B)and

(C)of paragraph

(3)during a performance measurement period (subject to the limitation in paragraph (3)(D)), the Federal supplemental nutrition assistance program funding for the State shall be reduced for the entire penalty period that commences 12 months after the commencement of the relevant performance measurement period. The funding reduction for a State under subparagraph

(A)shall be determined by the number of consecutive performance measurement periods during which the State has failed to meet 1 or both of the relevant work activation participation rates under subparagraphs

(B)and

(C)of paragraph

(3)(subject to paragraph (3)(D)). If any State fails to maintain a monthly average number of program-eligible family units that maintain full engagement in work activation during a performance measurement period that fulfills 1 or both of the relevant performance standards under subparagraphs

(B)and

(C)of paragraph

(3)(subject to paragraph (3)(D))— for a single, nonconsecutive performance measurement period, the Federal supplemental nutrition assistance program funding for the State shall be reduced by 20 percent of the normal funding allotment of the State for the penalty period that commences 12 months after the relevant performance measurement period; for 2 consecutive performance measurement periods, the Federal supplemental nutrition assistance program funding for the State shall be reduced by 30 percent of the normal funding allotment of the State for the penalty period that commences 12 months after the relevant performance measurement period; for 3 consecutive performance measurement periods, the Federal supplemental nutrition assistance program funding for the State shall be reduced by 40 percent of the normal funding allotment of the State for the penalty period that commences 12 months after the relevant performance measurement period; for 4 consecutive performance measurement periods, the Federal supplemental nutrition assistance program funding for the State shall be reduced by 50 percent of the normal funding allotment of the State for the penalty period that commences 12 months after the relevant performance measurement period; for 5 consecutive performance measurement periods, the Federal supplemental nutrition assistance program funding for the State shall be reduced by 70 percent of the normal funding allotment of the State for the penalty period that commences 12 months after the relevant performance measurement period; or for 6 or more consecutive performance measurement periods, the Federal supplemental nutrition assistance program funding for the State shall be reduced by 100 percent of the normal funding allotment of the State for the penalty period that commences 12 months after the relevant performance measurement period. Subject to clause (iii), if a State maintains a monthly average number of program-eligible family units that maintain full engagement in work activation that is sufficient to fulfill the relevant performance standards described in subparagraphs

(B)and

(C)of paragraph (3), subject to the limitation in paragraph (3)(D) for 1 nonconsecutive performance measurement period, the Federal supplemental nutrition assistance funding for the State for the next penalty period shall equal 1/2 of the sum of— the normal funding allotment of the State for the performance measurement period; and the funding allotment of the State for the previous penalty period. Subject to clause (iii), if a State maintains a monthly average number of program-eligible family units who maintain full engagement in work activation that is sufficient to fulfill the relevant performance standards described in subparagraphs

(B)and

(C)of paragraph (3), subject to the limitation in paragraph (3)(D) for 2 consecutive performance measurement periods, the Federal supplemental nutrition assistance funding for the State shall equal 100 percent of the normal funding allotment of the State for the next penalty period. Notwithstanding clauses

(i)and (ii), no State shall receive more than 100 percent of the normal funding allotment of the State due to the provisions of this paragraph. If, in any future year, a State reduces the supplemental nutrition assistance caseload of the State below the levels that existed in calendar year 2006, the State shall receive a financial reward for reducing dependence. The reward shall equal 1⁄4 of the savings to the Federal Government for that year that resulted from the caseload reduction. A State may use reward funding under this paragraph for any purpose chosen by the State that— provides benefits or services to individuals with incomes below 200 percent of the Federal poverty level; improves social outcomes in low-income populations; encourages healthy marriage; or increases self-sufficiency and reduces dependence. There is authorized to be appropriated to the Secretary to provide funds to State governments for the purpose of carrying out work activation programs in accordance with this section $500,000,000 for fiscal year 2014 and each subsequent fiscal year. The total amount appropriated under subparagraph

(A)for a fiscal year shall be allocated among the States in accordance with the proportion of each State’s share of total funding for the supplemental nutrition assistance program under this Act in fiscal year 2007. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in fiscal year 2014 and each subsequent fiscal year, a State that receives supplemental nutrition assistance funds may spend, in that fiscal year to administer the work activation program of the State under this section, up to— 30 percent of the Federal funds available to the State through the program of block grants to States for temporary assistance for needy families established under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) in that fiscal year; and 30 percent of funds from State sources allocated to the operation of the program described in item (aa). Any State that uses State funds allocated to the program of block grants to States for temporary assistance for needy families established under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) to administer the work activation program under this section may count those funds for purposes of meeting the maintenance of effort requirement of the State under that program of block grants in that fiscal year. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in fiscal year 2014 and each subsequent fiscal year, a State that receives Federal funds under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 ( 29 U.S.C. 2801 et seq. ) may spend up to 50 of those funds to administer the work activation program under this section. .
