NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: WORKFARE Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services. Workfare (W) provides individuals with an opportunity to gain work experience and useful workplace skills at a supervised worksite. In lieu of wages, W participants receive compensation in the form of their household’s monthly SNAP allotment. Worksites and worksite agreements are developed and executed by the SNAP E&T provider with non-profit worksites. Each E&T provider has signed an agreement with the worksite that outlines requirements for working conditions and requires data exchanges such as reporting participation hours. By state law Worker’s Compensation insurance must be provided for participants in the Workfare component only for the hours the SNAP E&T participant is contracted to work. The hours required for this component are equal to the number of hours equal to the household’s allotment for that month divided by the higher of the applicable Federal or State minimum wage. Workfare is a qualifying component. Indicate the Target Population this component will serve. Select all that apply.
