Regaining eligibility applies to individuals who have received the three ABAWD months and were closed or denied for failure to comply with the ABAWD work requirements (including failure to file an application for review). The individual must then work 80 hours in a 30-day period to regain eligibility. If an individual reapplies prior to the completion of working 80 hours in a 30-day period, benefits are prorated from the date the 80 hours are completed. There is no limit to the number of times an individual may regain eligibility.
After an individual has regained eligibility, the individual must also meet the work requirements to maintain eligibility.
