SNAP Work Rules
BPLC created a SNAP Work Exemptions Reference Chart to summarizes common exemptions from SNAP work requirements, including exemptions that apply to General SNAP work rules, ABAWD requirements, or both. It is intended to help professionals quickly identify potential exemptions and understand the documentation that may be needed to establish them.
