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. Idaho screens all SNAP participants ages 16–59 for work registration requirements at application, re- evaluation, and when changes are reported. The state’s eligibility system uses a built-in rules engine to assess household-provided data and determine whether an individual is subject to work registration and mandatory SNAP E&T participation under 7 CFR 273.7. This automated process evaluates exemption criteria based on information provided by the household and keyed by eligibility staff. The system ensures consistent application of federal and state policy to accurately identify mandatory work registrants. How does the State agency work register non-exempt individuals? Once identified as mandatory for participation, individuals are referred to Maximus, the state’s SNAP E&T contractor, to complete the work registration process. Work registration is documented through the development of a work plan, which outlines agreed-upon participation activities. Completion of the work plan is considered confirmation of work registration and is tracked by Maximus and reported back to the Department.
