NEW YORK : Please let me double-check I can work LESS than 20 hours per week if I earn more than $217.50 per week.

Excerpted a few parts from there.

<<<

(1) You are excused from the General SNAP Work Rules because you are already earning $217.50 (30 times the federal minimum wage) or more per week.

(2) How can you meet the ABAWD work rules?

Paid or unpaid work for 20 hours per week (80 hours per month)

Examples include:

Having a job where you work at least 20 hours per week or earn at least $217.50 per week, even if you work less than 20 hours per week.

(3) Note: You will not lose your SNAP benefits if your hours fall below 30 hours per week and you are still earning $217.50 per week (30 times the federal minimum wage).

I would like to double-check if I don't have to work 20 hours or more per week for the SNAP benefits, if I earn at least $217.50 per week. I know that's all the website says but I want to make this absolutely clear once again.

I thought that working 20 hours per week was the very top priority that had to be observed above all else. When 20 hours per week requirement was met, my weekly and monthly wage exceeded the SNAP income limit then I lost my SNAP benefits last March.

Wonder if there was this $217.50 per week requirements four months ago... Well, it's possible I did not check everything thoroughly.
