Regulation Authority:
RIGL 40-6-8
Purpose and Reason:
Effective July 2011, mandatory work registrants, as well as SNAP applicants and recipients who are exempt from work registration, may volunteer to participate in an E&T activity with the new SNAP E&T contractor, LISC. Although Rhode Island has a voluntary E&T Program, SNAP recipients must still comply with the work requirements as specified in Section 1004.25.25 of the SNAP Policy manual, as revised. In addition, policy relating to non-citizen eligibility has been updated to eliminate the limitation of 7 years of SNAP eligibility for certain qualified aliens. Both the E&T and non-citizen policy have been reorganized and certain sections have been obsoleted or renumbered. Technical changes: changed references from Food Stamp Program to SNAP; Changed FIP to RIW and changed INS to USCIS.
Brief statement of Reason for Finding Imminent Peril:
An emergency filing is necessary to make Employment and Training Services available to SNAP recipients and delineate the less restrictive work requirements for the SNAP Program, as well as to eliminate the time limit for certain qualified aliens to remain on the SNAP Program.
