NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: WORKFARE Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services. Workfare is a component in which FAP recipients perform work in a public service capacity. The primary goal of workfare is to improve employability and encourage individuals to move into unsubsidized employment while returning something of value to the community. Workfare will take place with a public or private non- profit agency, including community-based organizations. The MWAs will negotiate the terms for placement of participants and approve assignment locations. The participant may identify a worksite or choose from one of the assignment locations already approved by the MWA. The MWAs will periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the assignment to assess the participant’s readiness for full-time unsubsidized employment. Participation is limited to the household SNAP/FAP allotment divided by the applicable minimum wage. Indicate the Target Population this component will serve. Select all that apply. ABAWDs Homeless Returning citizens (aka: ex-offenders) Single parents Students Underemployed Veterans Describe the criteria for participation. Include the skills, knowledge, or experience necessary for participation in the component. For example, literacy or numeracy levels, recent labor market attachment, computer literacy, etc. The MWA will consider the prior training, experience, and skills of the participant, along with E&T objectives when making appropriate assignments. In many instances the participant will have a limited, or inconsistent work history. 1/29/26, 8:18 AM State Plan MI FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-mify26stateplan//index.html 62/181
