B-1431-SNAP - PR CHANGES IN STATUS

If an individual reports a change which affects work registration status and all verification is provided, take action within 10 days by entering the change in LITE and running eligibility on the case. LITE will update the work registration code when the case is authorized.

If an individual becomes a MWR * or a new member is identified as a MWR, the worker must contact the household to provide an oral explanation of the MWR’s SNAP work registration requirements and the consequences of a MWR failing to comply with the work registration requirements. The oral explanation can be accessed by clicking on the ‘MWR Work Requirements’ link on the Non-Financial – Questions screen in LITE. The worker will be navigated to the DCFS intranet.

 Complete the MWR discussion by reading the oral explanation and answering ‘Yes’ to the question, “Did you discuss the MWR requirements with the household?”.

o If the MWR discussion is not completed, select ‘No’. If ‘No’ is selected to the question, a missing information warning will display on the ‘Missing Information’ page. The missing information warning is generated by LITE when eligibility is run and will not allow the case to be authorized until the missing information is cleared.

 Document successful and unsuccessful attempts to provide an oral explanation of the SNAP work registration requirements. Only one successful attempt to contact the household is required.

 Provide a Work Registration Requirement with Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC), SNAP 4RW.

A SNAP Work Requirements (SNAP 4WR) must be sent if a household member becomes a MWR. If the work registration status ** is updated and the case is authorized, an automated *** SNAP 4WR will be sent in LITE.
