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). Data from prior E&T monthly reports are used to estimate the current WR count. Data from the Family Assistance Management Information System (FAMIS) and AOSOS is also considered for tracking mandatory work registrants. Data from the IAcquire 5670-RM-3 report is used to determine the number of individuals subject to work registration for the run date of 10/1 of the previous year. The NJ SNAP application process requires applicants to be designated work registrants if they don't meet the established exemption criteria (see N.J.A.C. 10:87-10.2). This requirement applies to prior recipients of NJ SNAP if there has been a break in the continuous use of NJ SNAP. When a WR appears to be eligible for exemption from work requirements, the NJ SNAP E&T worker must refer the person back to the NJ SNAP office, with a recommendation for reclassification into exempt status to ensure the base of the eligible (non-exempt WRs) is not artificially inflated. Provide information about how work registrant data is pulled from the eligibility system, including the date the data is pulled. The IAcquire 5670-RM-3 report is pulled with the following logic: Frequency/Copies: Monthly Selection Criteria: SNAP status equal to G and person indicator equal “4” “8” and looking for a certain range of ages (* Male age between 18 and 50, female age between 18 and 50, B-form individual age between 18 and 50) and Work reg. not equal to “DIS”, “AGE”, “UND”, “KID”, “UIB”, “AAA”, “EMP”, “STU”, “REF”, “COM”, “SCH”, “PEN” ”, "TNF", "PRG", "CTK", "GDC" Data Columns: Municipality, ABAWD GA, ABAWD not GA, Total ABAWD, Not ABAWD GA, Not ABAWD not GA, Total Not ABAWD, Between 50 and 60, Between 16 and 18 Totals: Number of ABAWDS receiving GA, number of ABAWDS not receiving GA, number of ABAWDS, number of non-ABAWDS receiving GA, number of non-ABAWDS not receiving GA, number of people over 50, number of people under 18 by municipality and county How are work registrants identified in the eligibility system? FAMIS fields LP/926, LQ/925, and RI/03 hold the work registration or work registration exemption coding. For individuals who are mandatory work registrants, a three-character code is entered into the field. The First Position indicates the activity status: A – Active in a work activity, I – Inactive in a work activity, S – 1/29/26, 9:17 AM State Plan NJ FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-njfy26stateplan//index.html 56/116
