Counties may temporarily exempt ABAWDs (limited to three months in a 36-month time period unless they work at least 20 hours a week or participate in a qualifying work or training program) who are at risk of losing food stamp eligibility due to the three-month limit by granting the 15% exemption.

Inlcudes a reminder that 15% ABAWD exemption cannot be granted during a food stamp sanction. [Download]
