Section 6(o) of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended (the Act) generally limits the amount of time an able-bodied adult without dependents (ABAWD) can receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to 3 months in a 36- month period (the time limit), unless the individual meets certain work requirements. On the request of a State SNAP agency, the Act also gives the U.S. Department of Agriculture (the Department) the authority to temporarily waive the time limit in areas that have an unemployment rate of over 10 percent or a lack of sufficient jobs. The Act also provides State agencies with a limited number of discretionary exemptions that can be used by States to extend SNAP eligibility for ABAWDs subject to the time limit.
