These rules apply to adults between the ages of 18 and 64 who are able to work and do not live with a child under the age of 14.
You can be exempt from the work requirement if you are:

Please get in touch with your benefit program to learn more about exemptions from the work requirement.
If you are not exempt, you must complete 20 hours of work activities per week (or an average of 80 hours per month). These work activities also need to be documented and can be combined from different activities for a total of 80 hours per month. Qualifying activities include:
- Working at a job
- Volunteering or doing community service
- Participating in a job training or employment program through SFHSA
- Enrolled in school less than half-time or in a training program
