SCREENING FOR WORK REGISTRATION State agency eligibility staff must screen for federal exemptions from work registration, per 7 CFR 273.7(a). Describe how the State agency screens applicants to determine if they are work registrants. Potential work registrants are screened during the interview process through the FAMIS system by FSD eligibility merit staff. The SkillUP program, as well as the work registrant requirements is discussed. Once staff determine the individual is a work registrant, the correct code is entered, allowing FAMIS to determine if the potential SNAP participant is an ABAWD, an ABAWD who meets an exemption, or a non-ABAWD. How does the State agency work register non-exempt individuals? FAMIS captures all necessary information regarding work registration. FSD eligibility staff assess work registration status of all household members at every application, mid-certification review, recertification, and when changes to income are reported. The individual who signs the application must provide information on all household members over the age of 15 and under the age of 60 to determine work registrants. Each time a new work assessment is completed, FSD eligibility staff verbally review with the household to determine: • which participants are, or may be, subject to work requirements • if an exemption or exclusion exists • if the participant needs help looking for a job through SkillUP when an exemption or exclusion is not met FSD eligibility staff enter the appropriate work registration coding in FAMIS, case note within the eligibility system the work registrant status of each individual, and verbally notify the individual of the work requirement. At what point in the certification process does the State agency provide the written explanation of the applicable work requirements? Select all that apply.
