SCREENING FOR WORK REGISTRATION State agency eligibility staff must screen for federal exemptions from work registration, per 7 CFR 273.7(a). Describe how the State agency screens applicants to determine if they are work registrants. DSS Eligibility Operations staff screen applicants during initial application and redetermination to assess if participants are work registrants or meet an exemption. The Daily File which is accessed via a secure database and updated each day is provided to all SNAP E&T Providers which serves as a direct referral. How does the State agency work register non-exempt individuals? The work registrant language is stated in the rights and responsibilities section of our application, redetermination, and Periodic Report Form (PRF). Applicants are registered for work by signing the Application for Benefits (W1E). Once the applicant is approved for SNAP and not receiving TANF, they go on the daily file that is shared with E&T providers. The Application for Benefits (W1E) states that the applicant is required to accept job offers, unless the job is unsuitable, comply with TFA work requirements, comply with Unemployment Compensation Benefits (UCB) requirements, provide employment status and ability to work information upon request.
