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. During each FoodShare interview, IM workers must do the following: 1. Ask relevant questions and gather necessary information to identify the correct work registration status and ABAWD determination in CWW. The CWW driver flow will take the eligibility worker through questions related to all the potential exemptions from the general work requirements. 2. Ask relevant questions to assist in discovering potential exemptions. 3. Provide applicants or members with information on exemptions so that they may recognize any current or future exemptions for themselves or a household member. 4. Review prior and potential sanctions documented on the Loss of Employment pages for accuracy and possible good cause. How does the State agency work register non-exempt individuals? During the FoodShare interview, IM workers must explain the FoodShare work registration requirements, the rights and responsibilities of work-registered food unit members, and the consequences of failure to comply with the work registration requirements. IM workers must differentiate between the FoodShare work registration requirements and the ABAWD work requirement. When a FS applicant signs the FS application, this registers the non-exempt individual for work. IM workers must provide applicants and members with information about the FSET program. IM workers need to inform work registrants that although registration for work is mandatory, participation in FSET is voluntary and non-participation will not result in being sanctioned. At what point in the certification process does the State agency provide the written explanation of the applicable work requirements? Select all that apply.
