considered. Additionally, only EDBC results where the individual has a Program Person Status of “Active” should be considered. How are work registrants identified in the eligibility system? • Work registrants are identified in the eligibility system as individuals who have a SNAP Work Registration Status of “Mandatory” as determined by a SNAP EDBC that is effective for the reporting period. A SNAP EDBC is considered to be effective for the reporting period if the reporting period falls between the begin and end month on the EDBC result. If an individual has multiple EDBC results that are effective for the reporting period, they need to have a SNAP Work Registration Status of “Mandatory” on at least one of the effective SNAP EDBC results. Read Only EDBC results should not be considered. Furthermore, a non-Read Only EDBC result needs to be saved and accepted to be considered. Additionally, only EDBC results where the individual has a Program Person Status of “Active” should be considered. Describe measures taken to prevent duplicate counting of work registrants within the federal fiscal year. • Duplication for an October reporting period is prevented because Line 1 captures all individuals who have a SNAP Work Registration Status of “Mandatory” as determined by a SNAP EDBC that is effective for October of the federal fiscal year as of October 1st while Line 2 for October captures individuals who have a SNAP Work Registration Status of “Mandatory” as determined by a SNAP EDBC that is effective for the reporting period that has an EDBC run date greater than October 1st of the given federal fiscal year and the individual does not have a SNAP Work Registration Status of “Mandatory” as determined by a SNAP EDBC that is effective for the reporting period that has an EDBC run date less than or equal to October 1st of the given federal fiscal year. • Duplication is prevented in Line 2 when the reporting period is any month other than October within a given federal fiscal year the report because the report requires that the individual has a SNAP Work Registration Status of “Mandatory” as determined by a SNAP EDBC that is effective for the reporting period and the individual does not have a SNAP Work Registration Status of “Mandatory” as determined by a SNAP EDBC that is effective for any month prior to the reporting period within the given federal fiscal year. An initial count of individuals who are work registrants receiving SNAP on October 1 is the base population for this line item. This field will only be populated for the first quarter of the FFY and will appear as “0” (zero) for all subsequent quarters in the FFY. A count of new work registrants is obtained at the end of each month which is captured in line 2 of the 583 by month and ran quarterly. Individuals in the Ohio Benefits eligibility system are identified by a social security number and an identification number assigned to each unique individual. The system checks to make sure work registrants are not counted more than once during the federal fiscal year. All lines on the FNS-583 are populated according to the instructions (OMB No. 0584- 0594) that show an expiration date 7/31/2023 but have been approved for continuation through September 30, 2026. 1/29/26, 9:30 AM State Plan OH FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-ohfy26stateplan//index.html 64/121
