IM 5464
An individual who fails to comply with work requirements for participation is ineligible to participate. A disqualification for non-compliance with work
requirements and/or mandatory employment and training programs are progressive based on occurrence.
Joining Another Household
If the individual who failed to comply with the work requirements joins another household, the individual is an excluded household member. The disqualification continues until the individual complies or becomes exempt. The individual may be eligible to participate during the disqualification period by becoming exempt from work requirements.
Moving from a BEST or NDWORKS County
If an individual disqualified from BEST moves from a BEST county to a non-BEST county, the individual is an excluded household member. The disqualification period must be served in its entirety before eligibility can be re-established. If the disqualification wasn’t imposed prior to the individual moving, the disqualification must be imposed in the new county the individual moved too.
If the individual becomes exempt from the work requirements, the individual can be eligible beginning the month after the exemption is reported and verified.
If the individual is not exempt from the work requirements for participation, Form SFN 385 - Affidavit for SNAP Work Requirements must be completed.
