Regulation Authority:
RIGL 40-6-8
Purpose and Reason:
The amendments update the SNAP rules to include provisions relating to work requirements and voluntary participation in the SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) Program. 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. Unless exempt, 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 seven years of SNAP eligibility for certain qualified aliens and to further clarify rules relating to non-citizen eligibility. Both the E&T and non-citizen policy sections have been reorganized and certain sections have been obsoleted or renumbered. Changes are effective in July of 2011 under emergency rule making. These proposed rules are being filed under both emergency and regular rule making to ensure compliance with state and federal law. Additional technical revisions include changing references to the Food Stamp Program to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP; changing references to FIP to Rhode Island Works or RIW; changing references to INS to USCIS
