Which of the following does not qualify as a compliant ABAWD?

A compliant ABAWD, or Able-Bodied Adult Without Dependents, is an individual who adheres to the work requirements set forth in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). To qualify, ABAWDs must engage in specified work activities such as working a certain number of hours per week or participating in community service or training programs.

Individuals who volunteer 15 hours a week are considered compliant because their volunteer work counts toward the required work activity, helping them meet the SNAP work requirements. Those working full-time also qualify as compliant ABAWDs, as they exceed the minimum number of work hours required by SNAP guidelines.

However, individuals maintaining a job for less than three months do not automatically qualify as compliant ABAWDs because the initial period of employment (less than three months) may not meet the program's requirement to indicate a stable employment situation. Sustained employment is typically viewed as a more reliable indicator of commitment to work-related activities.

Therefore, the option regarding individuals maintaining a job for less than three months correctly identifies a scenario that does not demonstrate compliance with the ABAWD requirements, highlighting the importance of sustained employment in ensuring ongoing eligibility for SNAP benefits.
