The restriction on ABAWD participation in the Food Stamp Program while not meeting ABAWD work requirements has been suspended, with all ABAWD participation "clocks" frozen at zero for the suspension period, effective through September 2012*. Due to this suspension, ABAWDs who do not meet work participation requirements will not be limited to 3 months of Food Stamp assistance in a 36-month period and can continue to receive Food Stamp benefits without meeting these work requirements through September 30, 2012. As such, policy on curing does not apply during the suspension period.
