106.5 Notices (continued) written component, E&E will automatically generate a Consolidated Work Notice as part of the SNAP approval letter once the case is finalized. Warning notices are automatically generated when an ABAWD uses a countable month. The notice explains the work requirements and informs the customer of the number of months remaining out of the 3 month ABAWD time limit. 106.6 Meeting Work Requirements An ABAWD is compliant with work requirements when they have documented that they participate in any combination of the following work activities for a total of 20 hours per week or an average of 80 hours per month. A. Working (at a job or self-employed), NOTE: Self-employed ABAWDs who are working only 20 hours a week must register for work. Working 20 hours per week meets the ABAWD requirement, but not the Work Registration requirements. Self-employed ABAWDs are not exempt from Work Registration unless they are working at least 30 hours per week. B. Participating in and complying with a Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program, Trade Adjustment Assistance Act program, or SNAP Employment and Training program (other than job search or job search training program), C. Participating in a work experience program governed by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requirements, or D. Volunteering at a non-profit organization.

NOTE: ABAWD customers follow simplified reporting requirements and must report if their work activity hours drop below 20 hours per week or 80 hours per month. ABAWD customers must also verify weekly participation in a work activity if the activities are outside of a SNAP E&T training program (local in-house programs and third-party partners).
