County Workers must:

• Determine if the individual is required to participate in NDWORKS. This must be documented in the case narrative.
  
  
• Complete the SFN 353 – Affidavit for SNAP Employment and Training Registrants. The individual must sign the SFN 353 and a copy must be given to the individual and a copy placed in the case file. The worker must document in the case narrative that the individual was given a signed copy of the SFN353.
  
  NOTE:
  Once the individual is determined to be required to participate in NDWORKS, they are considered a participant in the program.
  
  

• If the individual is exempt, enter the exemption reason and the date exempted in the eligibility system. Document in the case narrative the reason the individual is exempt.
  
  

• If the individual is not exempt, refer them to the NDWORKS program using Form SFN679 – SNAP Employment and Training Program Referral.
  
  The participant must sign the SFN679 and a copy must be given to the participant, and a copy placed in the case file. The worker must document in the case narrative that the individual was referred to NDWORKS and that a copy of the SFN679 was given to the participant.
  
  

• Inform the NDWORKS case manager of the referral by emailing the signed SFN679 – SNAP Employment and Training Program Referral to them. The date the SFN679 was emailed to the NDWORKS case manager must be documented in the case narrative.
  
  

• If notified by the NDWORKS case manager that a participant has failed to comply with the participant’s responsibilities, begin the good cause and conciliation procedures by sending the F851 – SNAP Non-Compliance NDWORKS Notice to the participant. Document the date of the NDWORKS case manager notification and the reason for non-compliance in the case narrative.
  
  

• If the participant is no longer required to participate in the NDWORKS Program, notify the NDWORKS case manager and document the notification and reason in the case narrative.
