B-1463-2-SNAP - PR * Case Still Open

If the worker determines or is notified that the individual complied during the disqualification period, the worker must set a Task to ensure the individual is added to the ongoing certification after the appropriate disqualification period has been served if the member is still a household member.

If the non-compliance was due to refusal of a job offer, voluntary quit, or voluntary reduction in work effort, the individual must be added back to the household after the appropriate disqualification period has been served if the individual agrees to seek and accept comparable employment as outlined in section B-1453-SNAP of B-1450-SNAP.

If the non-compliance was due to failure to register for work with LWC at redetermination, the individual must be added back to the household after the appropriate disqualification ** period has been served and the individual registers for work with LWC by creating a HiRE account.
