The term work-eligible individual does not include any individual with respect to whom— there is in effect a penalty imposed by the State under subsection

A State may exclude from the term work-eligible individual any resident of the State who is— a single parent caring for a child who has not attained 1 year of age; a recipient of supplemental security income benefits under title XVI, disability insurance benefits under title II, or other Federal or State benefits based on disability; an applicant for supplemental security income benefits under title XVI; an individual who is needed in the home of the individual to care for a disabled member of the family of the individual; or an individual who (but for the exercise of the State option under this clause) would be a work-eligible individual under a tribal family assistance plan approved under section 412 or under a tribal work program to which funds are provided under this part. For purposes of subsection (a), the participation rate of a State for a fiscal year is the average of the participation rates of the State for each month in the fiscal year. For purposes of paragraph (1), the participation rate of a State for a month, expressed as a percentage, is— the number of families residing in the State that include a work-eligible individual who is engaged in work for the month; divided by the number of families residing in the State that include a work-eligible individual. .

An individual is deemed to be engaged in work for a month if the State determines that the individual is in substantial compliance with the activities and hourly participation requirements of a modified employability plan developed for the individual in accordance with section 408(h). An individual who is married or a head of household and has not attained 20 years of age is deemed to be engaged in work for a month if the recipient maintains satisfactory attendance at secondary school or the equivalent during the month. . Section 407(d)(8) ( 42 U.S.C. 607(d)(8) ) is amended by striking (not to exceed 12 months with respect to any individual) .
