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). Each October 1, an SQL query is run in KEES to apply the federal definition of work registrant to all active SNAP participants. Provide information about how work registrant data is pulled from the eligibility system, including the date the data is pulled. At the end of the fiscal period, the data is run based on the client identification number which ensures that each person is counted only once. How are work registrants identified in the eligibility system? Information about the client's age, employment status and number of hours worked, work registrant exemptions and dependents are entered into the KEES system. The system then determines if a client is a work registrant and the client's work registration status is automatically populated when EDBC is run. This includes whether or not the client is exempt and the exemption reason. Describe measures taken to prevent duplicate counting of work registrants within the federal fiscal year. Work Registrants identified from October 2 to September 30 are compared to the October 1 query based on client identification numbers. This prevents duplication in the reporting. 1/29/26, 8:20 AM State Plan KS FY26 - Amendment 1 https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-ksfy26stateplan//index.html 39/71
