What About an ABAWD??

ABAWD Policy before Basic Food Closes: If an ABAWD client applies for the pilot prior to the end of their 3 rd month of non-participation and Basic Food Assistance (BFA) is still open, their participation in the RISE pilot will qualify them for an ABAWD exemption.

ABAWD Policy after Basic Food Closes: If an ABAWD applies for the pilot after Basic Food Assistance (BFA) has closed; they must first engage in work activities for 80 hours in a month period or participate in 16 hours of workfare, before they are eligible to receive basic food assistance. Once the client has been approved for BFA, they may engage in RISE services through a contracted provider.
