Virginia’s Health and Human Resources dashboards help show how public assistance programs support the health, stability and well-being of individuals, families and communities across the Commonwealth.
These dashboards allow users to explore data related to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Medicaid and other public assistance programs at the state, county and city levels. By making this information more transparent and accessible, the dashboards help provide a clearer understanding of community needs, the role these programs play in supporting local economies and where recent federal policy changes may create added challenges for Virginians.
H.R. 1, now Public Law 119-21, expands federal work-requirement rules that may affect how some Virginians keep access to food assistance and health coverage.
The risk is moving from policy discussion to implementation. The impacts may be felt first by people who already face barriers to steady work, transportation, documentation, caregiving or stable housing.
Federal changes expand the work-requirement age range for some adults and may place more Virginians at risk if they cannot document qualifying work or activity.
The child-age threshold tied to SNAP work-requirement exemptions changed, which may affect adults in households with older children.
Veterans and people experiencing homelessness may now need to meet work requirements unless another exemption applies.
New Medicaid federal work requirements are scheduled to affect certain adults, adding another point of risk for people who rely on health coverage.

View sectionThe Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is a food assistance program that helps Virginians buy groceries and feed their households each month.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits are 100% federally funded, and benefits can only be spent on food.
Each month, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funds support grocers, food retailers and Virginia’s agricultural industry while also helping individuals and families put food on the table.
Virginia’s charitable food network is a vital part of ensuring that people have access to healthy food. However, the charitable food network cannot replace the statewide impact of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
