Calculator · ABAWD countdown

How many ABAWD months do you have left?

If you're an ABAWD (18-64, no kids under 14, no exemption), you can receive SNAP for only 3 months in any 36-month period unless you meet the 80-hour-per-month work requirement or live in a waived county. Enter your first ABAWD-month and we'll show how many months remain and when your 36-month clock resets.
