Title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Requirements for Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents | |
Abstract:
Federal law generally limits the amount of time an able-bodied adult without dependents (ABAWD) can receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to 3 months in a 36-month period, unless the individual meets certain work requirements. On the request of a State SNAP agency, the law also gives the Department of Agriculture (the Department) the authority to temporarily waive the time limit in areas that have an unemployment rate of over 10 percent or a lack of sufficient jobs. The law also provides State agencies with a limited number of percentage exemptions that can be used by States to extend SNAP eligibility for ABAWDs subject to the time limit. Through this final rule the Department addressed comments received in response to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and revised conditions under which USDA would waive, when requested by States, the ABAWD time limit in areas that have an unemployment rate of over 10 percent or a lack of sufficient jobs. In addition, the rule limited carryover of ABAWD discretionary exemptions. |
