Field Ops Memo 2007-44: Food Stamp Program : Averaging Student Work Hours

To be eligible for the Food Stamp Program, a student beyond the secondary level must work a minimum of 20 hours per week to meet one of the student eligibility requirements.  Now, under an approved waiver, the Department can average the number of hours a student works during the month (based on the last four pay stubs) to calculate the number of hours worked per week.
