Which of the following is not an exemption from ABAWD requirements?

The correct answer illustrates a critical point in the context of ABAWD (Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents) requirements. An individual who is mentally or physically fit for employment does not qualify for an exemption under ABAWD regulations. This category specifically targets those who are capable of working and thus must meet certain work requirements to receive benefits.

In contrast, the other options present valid reasons for exemption. For instance, pregnancy often necessitates exemption due to the physical and emotional demands it places on an individual. Similarly, a caretaker for a minor child is acknowledged as needing support and thus is exempted from the work requirements because of their responsibility for dependents. Finally, students enrolled in school may also qualify for exemptions as their primary focus is education rather than immediate employment. Each of these situations reflects circumstances that hinder an individual’s ability to engage in work-related activities, reinforcing why they are exempt from ABAWD requirements, while being fit for employment does not justify exemption.
