Example: The household was interviewed for an October redetermination but failed to provide verification. The case was closed on October 31st for that reason. Good cause did not exist for failure to register for work with LWC. Concurrent Notice of Adverse Action must be sent listing the effective month of the sanction as November. The notice must indicate that the case was closed for failure to provide the required verification (listing the verification) and include the sanction for failure to register for work – HiRE.

B-1434-SNAP-PR FAILURE TO REGISTER FOR WORK WITH LWC

A sanction may only be imposed for a MWR, who failed to register for work with LWC without good cause, if the MWR is certified for SNAP when the non-compliance occurred.

If the redetermination is being extended and the case contains a MWR who failed to register for work with LWC and good cause does not exist, enter the work registration sanction using the steps below:

 Navigate to the Non-Compliance/Sanction- Questions screen. If the member has any Non- Compliance/Sanction History in LITE, this question is pre-populated to “Yes”. After clicking the ‘Next’ button on the screen, the user is navigated to the ‘Non-Compliance/Sanction Summary’ Screen and the steps are correctly stated in the policy. If the member does not have Sanction History in LITE, the user must answer “Yes” to the question. After clicking ‘Next’, the user is navigated directly to the ‘Non-Compliance-Details’ screen.

 On the ‘Non-Compliance – Details’ screen, Enter the ‘Start/Change’ Date, ‘Reported On’ Date, ‘Non-Compliance Violation Type’ - SNAP E&T, and Non-Compliance Reason - Failed to Register for Work – HiRE, and the Decision Date. Since the Violation Type is ‘SNAP E&T’, a Good Cause Status/Reason must be entered.

 Enter the ‘Good Cause Status/Reason’ as ‘No Good Cause’ and click the NEXT button.

 The ‘Non-Compliance/Sanction Summary’ screen will display the new sanction in the ‘Non- Compliance Summary’ section of the screen. The sanction will not display in the Sanction Summary section of the Non-Compliance Summary screen until Eligibility Determination is completed on the case action. After Eligibility Determination is run, LITE will automatically populate the Occurrence, Sanction Begin Date, and Program fields on the ‘Non- Compliance/Sanction-Summary’ screen. The sanction will be effective the month following the Expiration Date on the Notice of Decision.

LITE will automatically send a Notice of Decision to impose the sanction. If multiple household members failed to register for work, only one notice is sent.
