            ``(1) In general.--If an adult or adults within a work 
        eligible family unit are required by the State agency to 
        participate in work activation under section 29, no member of

semicolon.
    (i) Work Requirements and Activation Program.--The Food and 
Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.) is amended by adding at 
the end the following:

``SEC. 29. WORK REQUIREMENTS AND ACTIVATION PROGRAM.

    ``(a) Employment and Work Activation Standards.--Family units with 
adult members that are required to participate in work activation under 
section 29(b) during a full month of participation in the food stamp 
program shall be expected to fulfill the following levels of work 
activity during that month:
            ``(1) Each able-bodied work eligible adult without 
        dependent children shall be required to perform work activities 
        for at least 60 hours per month.

        family with dependent children shall be required to perform 
        work activities for at least 120 hours per month.

        dependent children, the family head and married spouse shall be 
        required to perform work activities which when added together 
        for the two adults equal at least 120 hours per month: 
        Provided, That the 120-hour requirement 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.
                    ``(A) For purposes of meeting this requirement the 
                paid employment and work activation of the family head 
                shall be added to the paid employment and work 
                activation of the married spouse, and the requirement 
                shall be fulfilled as long as the sum of the work 
                activities of the two individuals when added together 
                equals or exceeds 120 hours per month.

                spouse in a married couple with dependent children

                requirement as individuals.
    ``(b) Pro Rata Reduction in Employment and Work Activation Standard 
During a Partial Month.--
            ``(1) A work eligible family unit shall be subject to a 
        pro-rated work activity standard, if the family unit--
                    ``(A) receives a pro-rated monthly allotment during 
                the initial month of enrollment under section 8(c); and
                    ``(B) is required by the State to participate in 
                the work activation program during that month.
            ``(2) The pro-rated work activity standard shall be a 
        number of hours of work activity having a value which bears the 
        same ratio to the employment and work activation requirement 
        for that family unit for a full month under subsection (a) as 
        the ratio of 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.

        activity requirement during an initial month of enrollment in 
        the food stamp program, only those hours of adult work activity 
        which occurred during the portion of the month in which the 
        family unit was participating in the food stamp program shall 
        be counted.
    ``(c) Sanction for Noncompliance.--
            ``(1) In general.--If a member or members of a work 
        eligible family unit are required to participate in the work 
        activation program under subsection (e) in a given calendar 
        month and the individual or individuals fail to fulfill the 
        work activity standard under subsection (a) or (b) for that 
        month, then no member of the family unit shall be eligible to 
        receive food stamp benefits during the subsequent calendar 
        month.

                subsection (e) in a given calendar month and the 
                individual or individuals fail to fulfill the work 
                activity standard for that month, then the State agency 
                must eliminate the food stamp 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 subparagraph (B).

                administratively infeasible for the State to eliminate 
                the food stamp benefit that would be issued at the 
                beginning of the first month after the month of 
                noncompliance, then the State must eliminate 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:

                later than 32 days after the end of the month of 
                noncompliance, and: Provided further, That at least one 
                monthly payment to all members of the family unit must 
                be eliminated for each month of noncompliance under

activation activities under this section shall not be deemed employment

hours, or conditions of employment under any law administered by the 
Department of Labor.

                work activation each month in sufficient numbers to 
                meet the following monthly target work activation 
                ratios:

                ratios, not more than 20 percent of the monthly work 
                activation participants counted by the State may be

SEC. 604. CONSTRUCTION RELATING TO SEPARATE COVERAGE.

    Nothing in this title shall be construed as prohibiting any

abortion coverage, or the ability of a State or locality to contract 
separately with such a provider for such coverage, so long as only 
funds not authorized or appropriated by Federal law are used and such 
coverage shall not be purchased using matching funds required for a 
federally subsidized program, including a State's or locality's 
contribution of Medicaid matching funds.

        incest; or
            (2) in the case where a woman suffers from a physical 
        disorder, physical injury, or physical illness that would, as 
        certified by a physician, place the woman in danger of death 
        unless an abortion is performed, including a life-endangering 
        physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy 
        itself.
