President Donald Trump has instructed the Agriculture Department to tighten rules for states where able-bodied adults are allowed to collect food stamps when not working or training for a job.

The proposed rule comes after Congress dropped expanded food stamps work requirements that Trump wanted to have included in the 2018 Farm Bill.
