WHO IS EXEMPT FROM SNAP E&T

0028.06.10

MFIP, DWP, MSA, GA, GRH: No provisions.

SNAP: Participation in SNAP E&T is voluntary for all SNAP recipients. Referrals to Workforce One for enrollment in SNAP E&T are sent for all time-limited ABAWDs subject to the work requirements when eligibility is approved. However, being exempt from SNAP E&T exempts a participant from the work and time limit provisions. Redetermine the client's exemption status at least annually.

Receiving cash programs is not a work registration or SNAP E&T exemption. Persons applying for or receiving cash must be assessed for exemptions. See 0028.06.12 (Who Is Exempt From SNAP Work Registration). The following people are exempt from SNAP E&T and are therefore exempt from the work and time limit provisions:

● People exempt from SNAP work registration under 0028.06.12 (Who Is Exempt From SNAP Work Registration).

● Participants of Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) when they are working with a Refugee Employment Services Provider. If there is no Refugee Employment Services provider available, then the participant is not exempt from SNAP E&T and must be referred to a SNAP E&T provider. See 0030.12 (Refugee Employment Services). ● People under age 18 who do not meet a work registration exemption.

● People age 50 or older.

● Participants who are residing in a unit with a unit member under the age of 18, even if the unit member is not eligible for SNAP. Uncle Harry Food Support units that are residing in a home with a unit member under the age of 18 meet this exemption even if the unit member under the age of 18 is in an MFIP or RCA unit.
