ACF-DCL-23-13
November 13, 2023
Expand

Food and shelter are critical to the well-being of youth and young adults who are often underserved or marginalized. This dear colleague letter provides information and resources on new exceptions from the Able-Bodied Adults without Dependents (ABAWD) time limits and work requirements in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This information can assist youth and young adults experiencing homelessness and transitioning out of foster care who are eligible for SNAP benefits.

HHS Guidance Portal

On December 3, 2020, HHS released a Final Rule governing the agency's release and maintenance of guidance documents. See Good Guidance Practices Final Rule  (PDF). These regulations will help to ensure that the public receives appropriate notice of new guidance and that the Department's guidance does not impose obligations on regulated parties that are not already reflected in duly enacted statutes or regulations lawfully promulgated under them.

The HHS Guidance Portal houses guidance documents from all operating divisions, including ACF.
