Food Assistance Standards Annual changes for food assistance programs standards effective October 1, 2016

ABAWD Abled Bodied Adults Without Dependents

What do I do if my Basic Food ends because of the ABAWD rules?: The first time your benefits can end because of ABAWD rules is March 31, 2016. Even if your Basic Food benefits end, you can still requalify if you become exempt, or participate in an approved activity.   Otherwise, you won’t qualify for Basic Food again until January 1, 2018, when the 36 month period resets. You will then have to participate to get more than 3 months of Basic Food benefits. Clients can call with questions and receive a call back from the specialized ABAWD Team

Regaining Eligibility: There isn't any limit to the number of times a client can regain eligibility.  ABAWDs regain eligibility the date participation was met.

Chronically Homeless: This exemption is to be used when a client's homeless status is a barrier to working or participating in a work activity. Homelessness will be addressed with client at each review

Working Family Support Program Started 5/1/2016 Provides an additional $10 in Food Benefits to clients who are already receiving Food Benefits Designed to help clients retain employment and become self-sufficient, while also improving the state’s Workfirst Participation Rate.
