WORK REGISTRANT DATA The SNAP general work requirements are described at 7 CFR 273.7(a). Individuals who do not meet a federal exemption from the general work requirements, as listed in 7 CFR 273.7(b)(1), are subject to the general work requirement and must register for work. In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(10), the State agency must submit to FNS the number of work registrants in the State as of October 1st. This information is submitted on the first quarter E&T Program Activity Report (FNS-583). Describe the process the State agency uses to count all work registrants in the State as of the first day of the new fiscal year (October 1). (Total ABAWD + Total Non ABAWD = Total (work registrant) Universe) The number of work registrants in the State is reported on a monthly MIS-generated report titled “Clients Who Registered for Work and Clients Coded W.” Work registrants are identified in the eligibility system and on the report as non-ABAWD or ABAWD. ABAWDs are identified in the eligibility system by an ‘AB’ code and captured on the report as ABAWD work registrants. All other work registrants that are between the ages 18-59, that are not identified and/or coded as an ABAWD (AB), are captured on the report as non-ABAWD work registrants. The “Total Universe” column reports the total, unduplicated number of all work registrants in the State, including ABAWDs, as of each reporting month and accounts for the actual over 12 months. The report dated 09/30 is used annually to report the total number of work registrants as of October 1st of the fiscal year.

Describe measures taken to prevent duplicate counting of work registrants within the federal fiscal year.
