Support incentives for able-bodied adults to work

Jim Jordan supported the work-incentive provisions in President Trump's FY2018 budget, describing them as part of welfare-system reform. He also introduced H.R. 2832, the Welfare Reform and Upward Mobility Act of 2017, to reform SNAP; the bill was modeled on reforms in Maine and the 1996 welfare reforms. The supplied passage does not specify the bill's work rules or who would be subject to them.

Context: The budget was President Trump's proposal, and H.R. 2832 was introduced in 2017; the passage does not establish that either measure was enacted.

In their own words

This budget provides much-needed increases in spending for our military while also reforming our welfare system by incentivizing work for able-bodied adults.
