1182 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples Example 3: Brie applied for SNAP benefits on Aug. 18 and met the expedited criteria. She comes into the office for an interview on Aug. 25. This is the seventh calendar day following the filing date. Identification is viewed. She is mandatory and an ABAWD living in a time-limit area. She previously received CT1, CT2, and CT3. Brie lost benefits for exceeding the SNAP time limit. She has not worked since her benefits ended and does not meet an ABAWD exemption. She is not eligible for expedited service or SNAP until they regain eligibility. Example 4: Malorie applied for SNAP benefits on Feb. 4 and meets the expedited criteria. The interview is completed on Feb. 4. Malorie is an ABAWD and lives in a time-limit area. She does not meet an ABAWD exemption and previously received CT1, CT2, and CT3, resulting in case closure at the end of October. She states that she worked 100 hours in December. Malorie is eligible for expedited services if the agency is able to verify the hours right away. If not, they are given a pending notice (DHS 210ABW) requesting proof of their work hours in December and case is opened when that verification is received. Example 5: Jacob is an ABAWD. He does not meet any of the exemptions and is therefore mandatory. He lives in a time limit area and is subject to the SNAP time limits. Jacob received CT3 and his benefits closed two months ago. He meets the criteria for expedited service. However, he is ineligible due to being over the SNAP time limit. When questioned, he has not worked since his benefits closed two months ago. He has not regained eligibility and therefore remains ineligible for SNAP until he does regain. As he cannot complete 80 hours of work activities in the expedited period, he is ineligible for expedited service. Proceed using the regular application processing time frames.
