IM 5153
This is an additional program requirement for non-exempt able-bodied adults without dependents. An individual who is not ABAWD exempt is entitled to benefits for three months (consecutive or otherwise) during a 36 month period.
Any zero, prorated, or suspended benefit will not count as an ABAWD month.
Exception:
If a household receives a full month’s benefit that after recoupment results in a zero benefit, the month counts as an ABAWD month.
