Employment Requirements
Generally ABAWDS between 18 and 50 who do not have any dependent
children can get SNAP benefits only for 3 months in a 36-month period if
they do not work or participate in a workfare or employment and training
program other than job search. This requirement is waived in some
locations.
With some exceptions, able-bodied adults between
16 and 60 must register for work, accept suitable employment, and take
part in an employment and training program to which they are referred by
the SNAP office. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in
disqualification from the Program.
