Division/Section Family Support Chapter No./Name 4 – Economic Stability (ES) Part No./Name B – Eligibility Factors Section No./Name B-1400-FITAP-SNAP-STEP SNAP Work Requirements Document No./Name B-1430-SNAP Work Registration Procedures Effective Date January 1, 2024

5 of 7 If the household reports an exemption for not registering for work with LWC, which is questionable, send an OFS 18C to request verification of the questionable information and allow 10 days for the household to provide the requested verification. The reason the information is questionable must be thoroughly documented.

A HiRE Task will be created in LITE for the MWR allowing 10 days to register for work with LWC. Check the Clearance Summary by completing an on-demand search on the 7th day for expedited service and on the 10th day but no later than the 30th day following the application date for other applications to determine if the MWR has registered. If the 7th or 30th day falls on a weekend or holiday, treat the next workday as the 7th or 30th day. If the applicant is a MWR and did not register for work by 3:00 pm on the 7th day for an expedited case, change the expedited SNAP case to a regular SNAP case. If the MWR did not register for work by 3:00 pm on the 30th day, exclude the household member from the SNAP case and follow procedures listed in B-1434-SNAP-PR. Certify the SNAP case with the remaining household members if all other eligibility requirements are met.

B-1433-2-SNAP - PR - At Redetermination

Prior to the redetermination interview, all cases for households that timely reapplied must be reviewed to determine if there is a MWR included in the household. If the household did not timely reapply, no further action is taken.

If the MWR has not registered for work with LWC, discuss if good cause exists during the interview. Ensure that a SNAP 4RW was previously issued.

If the household reports an exemption or good cause for not complying with LWC, which is questionable, send an OFS 18C to request verification of the questionable information and allow 10 days for the household to provide the requested verification. The reason the information is questionable must be thoroughly documented.

If the household misses the redetermination interview, contact the household to determine if good cause exists. If the household is reached, conduct the interview at that time. Refer to B-1440-SNAP for good cause determination.

If good cause does not exist for failure to register for work, the sanction must be imposed at the same time action on the redetermination is completed. A concurrent Notice of Adverse Action must be sent the same day the redetermination is processed. Follow procedures listed in B-1434 SNAP-PR.

Example: The household was interviewed for an October redetermination. Good cause did not exist for failure to register for work with LWC. The redetermination, sanction, and concurrent Notice of Adverse Action are completed on October 30th. The sanction is effective November with the new certification period.

If the redetermination is not extended due to a procedural reason and the case contains a MWR who failed to register for work with LWC and good cause does not exist, close the case the last workday of
