Tennessee SNAP FAQs

Here are the most frequently asked questions about Tennessee SNAP Benefits:

Did Tennessee Suspend 3-Month Time Limit for ABAWDs?

Yes, the Tennessee Department of Human Services (DHS) has suspended the SNAP 3-month time limit for able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) who do not meet work requirements in all counties.

This means that Individuals between the ages of 18-49, who have lost SNAP because of the time limit rule may reapply.

A work requirement exemption will be granted for anyone who is not able to find work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since 1996, individuals ages 18 to 49 who are designated as ABAWDs have been allowed to participate in SNAP for no more than three months in a three-year period, unless working or participating in a training program for at least 20 hours per week.

However, states have had the flexibility to waive time-limit restrictions in instances where they can demonstrate a high unemployment rate or an inadequate number of jobs in a given locality.

The DHS is suspending the 3-month limit due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What if I am denied SNAP benefits in Tennessee?

If your SNAP application was denied by the DHS and you believe you were wrongly denied, here’s what you should do:

First, you should contact the DHS right away. You have the right to ask for a review by a hearing officer.

However, you must make the request within 90 days from the date you get the notice about your SNAP benefits.

Also, you may have a friend or relative attend the hearing with you, or you may
want the help of legal aid or a private attorney.

If the hearing officer rules in your favor, you will get the correct amount of SNAP benefits you are eligible for.

However, if the hearing officer agrees with DHS, you will have to repay the value of any benefits you should not have received.
