The following is information on how the system determines which cases are annual reporters, semi-annual reporters, or 10-day change reporters.

- ABAWD Status (F172) = Initial ABAWD Not Meeting Work Rule (K)

If all of the above conditions are met at the time of certification, the system will set SNAP Reporter Status (C37) to “A” and the Certification Period (C7) to 24 months.
