Register for work at the time of application and every 12 months after initial registration; 2. Participate in a workfare program if assigned by MDHS; 3. Participate in a SNAP Employment & Training (E&T) program if assigned by MDHS; 4. Provide MDHS or its designee with sufficient information regarding employment status or availability of work; 5. Report to an employer that was referred by MDHS or its designee if the potential employment meets the suitability requirements; 6. Accept suitable employment for a wage that is equal to or higher than the Federal or State minimum wage; 7. Do not voluntarily quit a job of 30 or more hours or reduce hours to less than 30 hours per week without good cause. B.
