4 of 7 B-1433-SNAP - PR WORKER RESPONSIBILITY * AT APPLICATION AND REDETERMINATION

The worker must determine if the household includes a MWR at application and at redetermination. The worker must run eligibility before ending the interview and review the ‘Filing Unit Summary Chart’ on the LITE ‘SNAP-Filing Unit Summary’ screen to identity which household member is a MWR so that the worker can discuss the SNAP work registration requirements.

If the household includes a MWR, the worker must:

 Discuss the SNAP work registration requirements, which includes how to register for a Helping Individuals Reach Employment (HiRE) account.  Determine if the MWR is an ABAWD.  Determine if the ABAWD is subject to the SNAP time limit.

If there is an MWR in the household, contact with the household must be made to provide an oral explanation of the MWR’s SNAP work registration requirements.

 Navigate to the ‘Non-Financial – Questions’ screen and answer ‘Yes’ to the question, “Did you discuss the MWR requirements with the household?”

 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 ‘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. o To clear the missing information, click the ‘MWR Discussion Required’ link. LITE will redirect to the ‘Non-Financial Questions’ to update the answer. Staff must complete the MWR discussion, select ‘Yes’ to the question, run eligibility, and authorize the case.

 Document the case record. **

B-1433-1-SNAP - PR At Application

If all other mandatory verifications (i.e. identity verification, wage verification) are received (regular and expedited applications), except for registering for work with LWC, check Clearance Summary for compliance to determine if each MWR registered for work by having an active HiRE account. If all MWRs have registered for work, process the application.

If the household is eligible for expedited service and the applicant is a MWR and failed to register for work with LWC by 3:00 pm on the 7th day, the household loses entitlement to expedited service.
