The SNAP Team and presenters had been planning to hold a SNAP Work Requirements and ABAWDS (Part 2) meeting, however, with all the recent federal changes we are pausing on sharing some of that guidance as we continue to work through data and system logistics.
We appreciate your patience and understanding on this – as we know you all have many questions.</div>

The team has received questions from many of you, and we are working on answering those in a separate forum as they range across many topics – mostly centered on the recent HR1 changes. We encourage you to continue to check on the ODHS Updates on Federal Changes
