WORK REGISTRANT DATA The SNAP general work requirements are described at 7 CFR 273.7(a). Individuals who do not meet a federal exemption from the general work requirements, as listed in 7 CFR 273.7(b)(1), are subject to the general work requirement and must register for work. In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(10), the State agency must submit to FNS the number of work registrants in the State as of October 1st. This information is submitted on the first quarter E&T Program Activity Report (FNS-583). Describe the process the State agency uses to count all work registrants in the State as of the first day of the new fiscal year (October 1). DPA Systems Operations, generates a report listing all work registrants annually on November 9th. Each subsequent monthly report compares the current month's work registrants with those listed in the annual report. Provide information about how work registrant data is pulled from the eligibility system, including the date the data is pulled. Each subsequent monthly report compares the current month's work registrants with those listed in the annual report. How are work registrants identified in the eligibility system? Work registrants are identified using the Work screen in the DPA Eligibility Information System (EIS). Describe measures taken to prevent duplicate counting of work registrants within the federal fiscal year. Monthly reports are generated, adding any new work registrants not found in the previous month’s report. This process ensures an unduplicated count of work registrants. An unduplicated count means that individuals included in the November 9th work registrant report will not be counted again in any subsequent reports for the rest of the Federal Fiscal Year. Additionally, anyone certified as a work registrant within a 12-month period is counted only once during that timeframe. 1/27/26, 9:34 AM State Plan AK FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-akfy26stateplan//index.html 41/97
