Work Requirements

All Adults

With some exceptions, if you apply for or receive food stamps, you must take part in the Employment & Training program in order to keep getting the food stamp benefits.

The reason for this is so that you may learn the skills you will need to find work, to keep your job, and to earn more money for your household.

Some of the activities you must take part in include:

• Meet with an employment counselor and agree on an employment plan
• Register for work with the Department of Workforce Services
• Participate in job search activities including 12 hours a month making job contacts for 3 months in a 12 month period.
