Community Service is not a SNAP E&T component. Customers participating in Community Service are not eligible for SNAP E&T supportive services. A referral is not sent to the Office of Workforce Development.

FCRC:

  • Uses SNAP Work Requirement - Community Work Verification (IL444-3673) in counties where the SNAP Work Requirement Time-Limited Benefits is in effect, to verify the work hours at the start of when a customer volunteers with a Community Service Provider.
  • Explains the reporting requirements to the SNAP household. When SNAP Work Requirement Time-Limited Benefits is in effect, customer residing in nonwaived counties are centrally converted to Change Reporting status (PM 18-04-00). 
  • The FCRC determines the appropriate action to take on the customer's eligibility for time-limited benefits.
