him to the joint resolution H.J. Res. 61, amending the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986 to exempt employees with health coverage under TRICARE or
the Veterans Administration from being taken into account for purposes
of determining the employers to which the employer mandate applies
under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; which was ordered
to lie on the table; as follows:

At the appropriate place, insert the following:
Sec. ___.  None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made
available by this Act shall be used to pay the salaries and
expenses of personnel to provide assistance under the
supplemental nutrition assistance program established under
the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 (7 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.)
until the date on which the Secretary of Agriculture
certifies that each State agency has instituted procedures to
ensure that all able-bodied recipients of assistance under
the program in that State who are between 18 and 49 years of
age and without dependents are required to comply with the
requirements of a work program for at least 20 hours each
week during any period in which the recipients receive
assistance under the program.
