OMTL-683 SNAP Work Requirements

R. 10/25/25

MS 2450 OUT OF STATE ABAWD (1)

Do the following for household members subject to ABAWD requirements if they received SNAP in another state:

A. Contact the other state(s) concerning the member's ABAWD status. Any month in the last 36 months for which the individual received SNAP must be determined as a compliant, noncompliant, or bonus month as follows:

1. Send form PAFS-28, Out-of-State Inquiry, or contact the agency by phone;

2. Determine if the applicant received SNAP for any month in the last 36 months, and was not exempt from ABAWD requirements;

3. Accept the other state's documentation. It is the responsibility of the other state to verify the member's ABAWD status; and

4. Document the case record thoroughly.

B. Update the ABAWD’s months on the system to reflect the information provided by the out-of-state agency. Go to the Individual Summary page for the member and click on “Work Participation Month Tracker” to make updates.

C. If the other state refuses to supply this information, contact NAB and provide the address and phone number of the out-of-state agency.

D. Do not hold the application pending past the 30 day timeframe to verify noncompliant months. Assume compliance and correct the member's tracking report when verification is received from the out-of-state agency.
