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. All household members applying for NJ SNAP are screened for mandatory work registration at the time of application and recertification. Screening occurs by reviewing all exemption criteria with the household outlined in N.J.A.C. 10:87-10.2 and confirming if any exemptions exist. Should a household member meet the requirements for mandatory work registration, the work requirement is verbally explained, and the client is sent a notice outlining the requirement. The notice includes information about mandatory work registration, voluntary quit provisions, exemption criteria, instructions on meeting exemption criteria at a later date, not agreeing with the work registration decision, and fair hearings. SNAP E&T is also explained to those who meet an exemption, should an individual be interested in voluntarily participating in the program. The CSSA Eligibility Worker enters required information into the state’s legacy system, which is sent electronically to AOSOS, the formal electronic communication system for case management, where an electronic record of work registration is created and sent to the OSCC no later than five working days after certification. How does the State agency work register non-exempt individuals? The CSSA NJ SNAP eligibility worker enters required information into the state’s legacy system, which is sent electronically to AOSOS, the formal electronic communication system for case management, where an electronic record of work registration is created and sent to the OSCC no later than five working days after certification. The NJ SNAP E&T worker or the CSSA case manager schedules, in writing, WRs for OSCC employability assessment, as part of the orientation appointment, immediately or within 10 days. At what point in the certification process does the State agency provide the written explanation of the applicable work requirements? Select all that apply.
