We are in the process of providing guidance on how The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 changes the work requirements for SNAP able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs). This includes changes to the ABAWD exception criteria and ABAWD waiver criteria. We will update this page once the guidance is released.
SNAP state agencies must establish procedures to screen for and apply the general work requirements and able-bodied adult without dependents (ABAWD) work requirements and time limit. The SNAP Work Rules Screening Checklists and Flow Chart were developed to assist SNAP state agency staff in determining if an individual is subject to any of the SNAP work requirements.
