Current Narrative:
The FSD is not a pledge state. However, the FSD is committed to serving ABAWDs during and after FFY2016. As of August 2015, the FSD has identified 6.9% of Missourians receiving SNAP (58,530 individuals) will be identified as ABAWDs effective January 1, 2016. Approximately 3% to 12% of ABAWDs participated in Employment and Training programs when the ABAWD waiver expired in other states. If 5% of the 58,530 ABAWDs chose to participate in approved training and work components, 2,927 Missourians could be served by DWD, MU or FSD. The FSD estimates that 1,464 ABAWDs will be served through METP and 1,463 will bring their documentation of employment and training directly to the FSD.
