SUBJECT: SNAP MANUAL UPDATE TO CLARIFY EXEMPTIONS TO ABLE BODIED ADULTS WITHOUT DEPENDENTS (ABAWD) TRAINING/WORK REQUIREMENTS AND VERIFICATION

MANUAL REVISION #
1105.035.15

 

DISCUSSION:

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Manual section 1105.035.15 Exemptions to Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents Training/ Work Requirement and Verification has been updated regarding a request for a Medical Review Team (MRT) decision.

  • If an MRT decision is necessary, a completed FS-61 SNAP Summary to Determine Fitness for Work must be included when emailing the MRT Processing Center. This form is needed for the processing center to determine if an individual meets an exemption for the ABAWD work/training requirements.

A clarification was also added that the participant does not need to be seen in person in order to use worker discretion to determine ability to work.

 

NECESSARY ACTION:

  • Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
