245.01 ABAWD Work Participation Requirements vs Food Stamp Work Registration Requirements SR 10-10 Dated 07/10

• Able bodied adults without dependent (ABAWD) work participation requirements are distinct and separate from work registration and are additional eligibility requirements unique to ABAWDs.

• All individuals who are currently required to work register *in the Food Stamp Program must continue to do so as noted in Chapter 800.

• Complying with Food Stamp work registration *does not necessarily mean that the individual is meeting ABAWD work participation requirements*.

• Satisfying ABAWD work participation requirements may not also satisfy Food Stamp work registration *requirements.
