SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP SNAP program for a minimum of 80 hours in a thirty-day period to regain eligibility does not have to be recent. An individual ABAWD may meet this requirement while receiving SNAP or during the period they are off SNAP or during the 30-day application process. To regain eligibility for three (3) consecutive months, an individual must have had eligibility denied/ terminated. A person who regains eligibility and subsequently can no longer meet the ABAWD work requirements, remains eligible for 3 consecutive months beginning on the date the individual notifies the division they no longer meet the requirements. The second 3-month eligibility period can be given only once in the 36­ month period. • 36-Month Period The State of Nevada uses a fixed 36-month ABAWD calendar. Under this system, all ABAWD time limits are tracked using the same statewide 36-month period, rather than individual rolling clocks. Each ABAWD is limited to 3 countable months of SNAP benefits within this fixed period unless they meet work requirements or qualify for an exemption. • Out of State ABAWD Status If it is verified a person received SNAP benefits in another state in ABAWD status, this must be counted and tracked, except as noted below: NOTES: • If one of the three-month issuances expires and the customer later reapplies for benefits, they are entitled to an additional month(s) of benefits, if otherwise eligible, because the expired issuance cannot be counted as one of the three issuances in a 36-month period because it was not redeemed. • If only one or two issuances in the three-month count are received out of state, the customer may receive the additional issuance(s) in Nevada, if otherwise eligible. • Do not include (track/count) an initial application month’s prorated issuance received in any state as one of the three months. • Tracking ABAWDS An individuals ABAWD status is tracked in the case record from the MEMBER BAP. The MEMBER BAP will identify an individual’s ABAWD status by the “N” or “Y” or other applicable codes (see below) selected from the ABAWD drop down. Once recorded, the corresponding code will be tracked on the individuals ABAWD calendar. The ABAWD status must be updated on the MEMBER BAP and/or ABAWD calendar when there is a change that impacts the individuals ABAWD status. When eligibility is regained for receipt of the three (3) consecutive months, use ABAWD code “R” in the ABAWD drop down. The “ABAWD” calendar is used to capture and track ABAWD status by using one of the following codes: SPECIALIZED HOUSEHOLDS ABAWD Time Limits and Tracking Division of Social Services Eligibility and Payments Manual 09 July 26 MTL 11/26 B-473
