Evidence

Burlison's office said he opened a roundtable on the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, framed as "Rewarding Work, Not Washington," which shows continued work-focused welfare messaging but not completion of the SNAP waiver goal.

Recent official activity keeps the work-requirements theme active, but it does not show that broad geographic waivers were actually ended.

The Ending the Cycle of Dependency Act would cap food-stamp aid, expand work requirements, and eliminate geographic waivers that states use to skirt those rules.

Direct legislative attempt to do exactly what the promise described, but the available official record here does not show enactment.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Burlison appears to have materially pursued the promise by backing legislation that would eliminate SNAP geographic waivers and tighten work requirements, which is a direct match to the stated goal. But the evidence provided does not show that those waiver changes were enacted or otherwise implemented in federal policy. Later messaging about rewarding work reinforces intent, not completion. Under the federal-office standard, this is a serious legislative attempt without a delivered outcome, so the promise is best judged as not fulfilled with effort credit.
