Beginning June 1, 2016 in some areas of PA, able-bodied adults, age 18-49, without children in the household (“ABAWDs”) will lose SNAP benefits as a result of reaching their 3-month time limit unless they:

Work at least 20 hours per week – or –

Qualify for an “exemption” (for example, because they are unable to work) – or –

Volunteer or perform community service for 26 hours per month.

No one should lose SNAP benefits due to time limits! (Note: The time limit does NOT apply in 24 Pennsylvania counties,

due to high unemployment rates. See map on other side. )
