Ongoing requirement for creators already enrolled in the Monetization Program; not an entry (invitation) requirement. The help article on tracking it says it 'applies to users currently enrolled in Snapchat's Ads Monetization Program.' Snap's wording is 'to qualify for maximum Creator Rewards'. Snap does not say what happens below 100 hours. Also confirmed on help article 47748552848660.
