The Able Bodied Adult Without Dependents (ABAWD) Work Requirement and Time Limit
If you are age 18–50*, able to work, and don’t have any dependents, you might need to meet both the general work requirements and an additional work requirement for ABAWDs to get SNAP for more than 3 months in 3 years (the time limit).You can meet the ABAWD work requirement by doing any one of these things:
- Work at least 80 hours a month. Work can be for pay, for goods or services (for something other than money), unpaid, or as a volunteer;
- Participate in a work program at least 80 hours a month. A work program could be SNAP Employment and Training or another federal, state, or local work program;
- Participate in a combination of work and work program hours for a total of at least 80 hours a month;
- Participate in workfare for the number of hours assigned to you each month (the number of hours will depend on the amount of your SNAP benefit.)
There aren't many able bodied people on welfare the work. It's a requirement. Keep pushing the false narrative.
If they were only $15 hr skills they'd have no problem filling the positions. I am amazed at how many on this site devalue what others do for a living. Shaming the poor seems to be a thing.
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
That's pretty much DeSantis to a tee. Enjoy your book banning.
No shaming whatsoever. Just telling it like it is from my little slice of the service industry (pest control) world.

It is racist to point out that undocumented workers are predominantly in low-skill, low-pay, manual labor jobs?
Wow.
How would you characterize removing the current work hour limits on 16 and 17 year olds?
You see that as an advancement for Florida?
Iowa and Arkansas come to mind for recent GQP child labor protection rollbacks. Are there others? What is their end game here?
Same as always - corporate profits and more money for the billionaire donor class
Sounds like the planters should look at improving wages to attract labor.
Very 19th century mindset to think we need to import cheaper labor.
The delegates now considered the report of the Committee of Eleven, which had created a compromise over the issues of the slave trade and international commerce.
Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (SC), seconded by Gorham (MA), moved to alter the compromise, which let Congress ban the slave trade in 1800. He wanted to change the year to 1808.
Over Madison’s (VA) objection, the motion passed 7–4, with New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia opposed.
Gouverneur Morris (PA) proposed two emendations to the clause: changing the wording from “importation of such persons” to “importation of slaves” and explicitly naming Georgia and North and South Carolina as the states doing the importing. “He wished it to be known... that this part of the Constitution was a compliance with those States,” but he was willing to drop the wording if the delegates from those states objected.
Mason didn’t mind using the term “slave” but worried that naming the specific states would cause offense.
Sherman (CT) and Clymer (PA) did not want to use the word “slave” since it was “not pleasing to some people.”
Williamson (NC) said “that both in opinion and practice he was against slavery; but thought it more in favor of humanity, from a view of all circumstances” for South Carolina and Georgia to remain part of the United States as slave trading states than for them to be excluded for that reason.
G. Morris withdrew his motion to amend the slave trade clause to make it more explicit.
There was now a debate over taxing the importation of enslaved Africans. Sherman was opposed, because taxing slaves as imports amounted to “acknowledging men to be property.” Madison agreed. King (MA), Langdon (NH), and C. C. Pinckney all said that the tax was part of the necessary compromise on the slave trade. Mason and Gorham encouraged Sherman to think more about the importance of using taxes to discourage the slave trade and to think less about the dehumanization that such a tax perhaps implied. Sherman responded “that the smallness of the duty showed revenue to be the object, not the discouragement of the importation.”
G. Morris noted that the vague wording of “importation of such persons” suggested that the US Congress could tax states admitting non-enslaved immigrants. Regardless, the clause permitting taxation on the “importation of such persons” passed with unanimous support from the state delegations.

Estimate is around 7 million males have left the workforce and aren't seeking work.
When spending 2 hours a day making a TikTok or YouTube video pays more than 12 hours picking vegetables it makes it hard to compete.
Article raises good points:
Doug Ducey and his successor Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, have bused and flown asylum seekers from their states. Axios reports that under Hobbs, the state has transported 26,513 asylum seekers since taking office in January, her administration said at a cost to the state of about $5.7 million.
That’s $215 apiece.
What would it cost taxpayers to take care of them instead?
In May 2023, DeSantis signed into law sweeping anti-immigration legislation that prohibits anyone from transporting illegal immigrants into the state. Among other restrictions, the law imposes penalties on Florida businesses that hire undocumented immigrants
Who doesn’t want this? I always hear that we’re failing to address demand. Doesn’t this do that? What is the problem?
Expecting crickets…
This is fine to me, but I don't want to hear anyone complain when their is a labor shortage.
There’s always a labor shortage, because none of you sonsabitches want to rake my yard or paint my house for what I’m willing to pay.
TC Nole OX is back to weep for the farmers who can no longer exploit illegal immigrants to pick their crops without taking on significant financial risk.
We have instituted the employer punishing reform we were told was what was needed to end demand for illegal immigrant labor.
When the last strawberry grower closes up shop in the state will you weep for the rivers being robbed of pollution from farm runoff?
Sorry to FL, but it couldn't have to a bigger POS than DeSantis. Hope it continues to be painful and other states are taking notes
Sure, but they don’t tell you many Libs they owned! That presidential run of DeSantis is the gift that keeps on giving.
Construction of new homes around Freeport doesn't seem to be inhibited at all....going up all over the place.

No way, they're still people that think MAGA aren't huge pieces of shit humans?

DeSantis has moved on because he felt the heat from business owners.
And they sure as hell are not going to work in the fields, they have never experienced working in heat and high humid temps.
Have you been to a Trump rally? Calling them able-bodied is a stretch.
This. It's going to be an issue. It'll get worked out, but there's no question there will be some pain as we work to unf*$k the migrant situation we've created for ourselves.
I've long said our dirty little secret is that we need the illegal labor, and it's true. However, it's not just laborers there Biden admin let in, and it's well worth the pain to try to get this problem under control.
