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). The ASSIST Worker Web (AWW) eligibility system determines work registrant status for SNAP recipients based on case information input by eligibility staff. AWW automatically identifies all SNAP recipients ages 16 through 59 and determines if they meet any of the work registration exemption criteria in 7 CFR 273.7(b) (1). If a SNAP recipient does not have an exemption, AWW will identify and code that individual as a work registrant on the E&T Requirement Status screen. This process is completed at application, recertification, and when a change is reported that affects work registrant status. Each month, AWW compiles the number of new work registrants for the system-generated E&T participation report. This report identifies all SNAP recipients coded as work registrants who received benefits through September and had an open SNAP case as of October 1st of the new fiscal year. DSS uses the AWW E&T participation report to identify all work registrants in the state as of October 1st of the new fiscal year. Provide information about how work registrant data is pulled from the eligibility system, including the date the data is pulled. ASSIST Worker Web (AWW) creates a work registrant data report based on individual data entered into the system as of October 1st. The report is generated by the system on November 1st. How are work registrants identified in the eligibility system? ASSIST Worker Web (AWW) uses data entered by eligibility staff to identify work registrants. AWW will identify and code that individual as a work registrant on the E&T Requirement Status screen. Describe measures taken to prevent duplicate counting of work registrants within the federal fiscal year. The SNAP work registrants who are identified as of October 1st of the fiscal year are flagged in the system. When the AWW E&T participation report runs to identify new work registrants for the first quarter, the report will not include any work registrants who were identified on October 1st. The new work registrants counted for the first quarter are then flagged in the system. When the report is run for the second quarter, the report identifies all new work registrants who were not previously flagged. The new work registrants counted for the second quarter are included in the report and then flagged in the system. This process continues for the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. 1/28/26, 11:01 AM State Plan DE FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-defy26stateplan//index.html 44/96
