Scope The purpose of this policy is to identify SNAP recipients who have to register for work, who have work requirements, who are exempt from work registration and work requirements, and the procedures when a customer does not meet these requirements. Policy Work Registration 1. Each household member who is not otherwise exempt from work registration requirements must register for employment prior to certification for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and once a year thereafter. 2. Persons losing their exemption due to a change that is required to be reported by the household must register for work as a condition of continued eligibility for SNAP. 3. Registration is accomplished when a SNAP application is signed. The adult who signs the application registers all individuals in the SNAP unit for work who are required to register for work. 4. For each intake and renewal interview, staff will need to provide The SNAP Consolidated Work Notice in the procedure manual to the customer and have a discussion over the requirements by using the Work Requirements Oral Script form.
