CHANGE NOTICE FOR MANUAL
MANUAL: Food Stamp Certification Manual
CHANGE NO: 2-2004 DATE: July 23, 2004
TO: County Directors of Social Services
EFFECTIVE August 1, 2004, make the following changes to the Food Stamp Certification Manual.
I. BACKGROUND
The changes in Sections 240, 241, 242, 243, and 245, Work Requirements, are the result of clarifications provided by USDA.
II. SPECIFIC CHANGES
All work registration codes are now listed.
USDA no longer recognizes the concept of geographically remote counties as it relates to work registration. All mandatory participants are required to be work registered. A form is not required for work registration in counties where there is not a contract with Employment Security Commission.
The job search requirement has increased from 6 weeks to 8 weeks. Reimbursement for participant expenses is at 4 week intervals.
III. IMPLEMENTATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply this policy to all applications, recertifications, and changes in situation taken and/or processed on or after August 1, 2004.
