• The SNAP Time Limit, ABAWD Work Requirement, and ABAWD Reporting Requirement if the newly identified individual is an ABAWD.

The worker’s actions must be documented in case notes including who was contacted and what was discussed. If the household cannot be contacted by phone, the results of the attempted contact must be documented including whether a message was left or the inability to leave a message.
