Appendix C – Page 17 Rev. 3/2022

adjustment is necessary to the hours of a work experience assignment during the demonstrated compliance period since the individual continues to receive the same amount of benefits during the demonstrated compliance period. The maximum hours that the individual may be assigned to work experience may need to be adjusted prospectively, if there is a change in the amount of TA and/or SNAP benefits payable to the household. Individuals who have been directly assigned to a SNAP work activity to start the demonstrated compliance period before the end of the ten-calendar day period may be afforded the opportunity to reschedule due to a conflict. However, the start date of the demonstrated compliance must begin no later than the end of the ten-calendar day period, unless the individual has a good cause reason.

The time period established for demonstrating compliance to the satisfaction of the district cannot exceed the demonstrated compliance period outlined in section 5.2 of the district’s Temporary Assistance and SNAP Employment Plan approved by OTDA, which cannot exceed ten days. Districts may add additional days, if the individual has good cause during the demonstrated compliance period, provided that the total number of days that an individual is required to demonstrate compliance does not exceed ten days. Districts are required to provide child care or transportation services that are necessary to enable the participant to demonstrate compliance with work requirements. The LDSS-4230 or approved local equivalent must be issued to the client before a ten-day notice of adverse action may be sent.
