To the work requirement including if you are unable to work due to physical or emotional issues. If you’re working with a licensed social worker or other appropriate licensed professional, they can sign the exemption forms. Also if you don’t meet the criteria for an exemption, volunteering is another option and requires fewer hours than if you worked.
