Located in:

a. 10. The method the State agency uses to prevent work registrants from being counted twice within a Federal fiscal year. If the State agency universally work registers all SNAP applicants, this method must specify how the State agency excludes those exempt from work registration under 7 C.F.R. §273.7(b)(1). If the State agency work registers nonexempt participants whenever a new application is submitted, this method must also specify how the State agency excludes those participants who may have already been registered within the past 12 months as specified under 7 C.F.R. §273.7(a)(1)(i);

Current Narrative:

SNAP applicants are assigned a Work Participation Characteristic at eligibility determination. All non-exempt recipients are automatically work registered. The assignment of the Work Participation Characteristic is completed via program rules based on policy compared against the information recorded in the eligibility system. The prevention of duplicated count of work registrants is completed via the exclusion of previously reported client identification criteria in the data report.
