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 SNAP eligibility system runs a monthly data extract to compile and report the data to the SNAP office. This number reports the number of work registrants as of the start of each federal fiscal year. Provide information about how work registrant data is pulled from the eligibility system, including the date the data is pulled. The data is pulled from a regularly scheduled job that gathers all SNAP recipient household members that are coded as work registrants as of the 30th of September. The report is delivered as a hard copy to the SNAP office and will migrate to an electronic report once Hawaii transitions to the new BES (Benefit Eligibility System) in October 2026. How are work registrants identified in the eligibility system? Work registrants are coded once they are determined to be subject to the general work requirements at the point of certification and recertification or any change reporting. Describe measures taken to prevent duplicate counting of work registrants within the federal fiscal year. A monthly count is completed every month for unduplicated work registrants each month and compiled at the end of the year. 1/28/26, 11:52 AM State Plan HI FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-hify26stateplan//index.html 37/86
