Simplified Reporting: Simplified reporting means that there are three items that households are required to report in interim months during the certification period. 1. Report when the household’s gross monthly income is over the maximum allowed for the household size; 2. Report when an eligible ABAWD’s employment hours stop or decrease below 20 hours a week; 3. If a household member receives lottery or gambling winnings of $4,500 or more. Winnings must be reported within 10 days of receipt.

In addition to the 3 reporting requirements in interim months, simplified reporting households must also complete a report form in the sixth month of the certification period.
