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). Work registrants are tracked in Wyoming’s eligibility system EPICS. The work registration coding follows the client in the eligibility system using the unique identifying number in EPICS. EPICS is coded to ensure that eligible clients (by age) have a field available to assign when the client is nonexempt or exempt from work registration. For those mandatory work registrants, there is a field available to document the date the client verified compliance with work registration. The report used to capture registrant data is created by using the clients’ unique identification number. A report is requested each year to pull the number of all work registrants in EPICS on October 1, then a report is pulled from October 2-31, and a monthly report is generated from EPICS to capture all new work registrants throughout the year. Provide information about how work registrant data is pulled from the eligibility system, including the date the data is pulled. Work registrants are tracked in Wyoming’s eligibility system EPICS.

The report used to capture registrant data is created by using the clients’ unique identification number. A report is requested each year to pull the number of all work registrants in EPICS on October 1, then a report is pulled from October 2-31, and a monthly report is auto generated from EPICS to capture all new work registrants throughout the year. The work registration numbers as of October 1st and October 2-31 are requested annually in November via an email to the EPICS programmer. Then a monthly report is generated from EPICS to capture all new work registrants throughout the year. The monthly work registration report is sent to the program manager monthly on the 1st of each month. How are work registrants identified in the eligibility system? The work registration coding follows the client in the eligibility system using the unique identifying number in EPICS. EPICS is coded to ensure that eligible clients (by age) have a field available to assign when the client is nonexempt or exempt from work registration. For those mandatory work registrants, there is a field available to document the date the client verified compliance with work registration. Describe measures taken to prevent duplicate counting of work registrants within the federal fiscal year. Since the eligibility system is used, duplicate counting is not possible because each client has a unique identification number. Only work registrants on October 1st are pulled and as each client has a unique 1/29/26, 10:32 AM State Plan WY FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-wyfy26stateplan//index.html 41/110
