Eligibility and Benefit Level
Effective 01/01/2022, the State minimum wage is $12.00.
- (FCRC or Provider) Verify the SNAP amount and the number of people eating in the SNAP household. A person is assigned hours of Earnfare employment based on their initial SNAP amount.
- Determine the Earnfare participant's work obligation (Community Workfare) hours by:
- dividing the SNAP benefit amount by the number of people eating together, to get the person's SNAP work obligation amount; and then
- divide the result by the current State minimum wage (round down).
- For each hour worked after the work obligation, the customer may earn the State minimum wage per hour. A customer can earn a maximum of $420 per month, including the amount of the support obligation, if any.
A customer living in a multi-person SNAP unit is deemed to be receiving a per capita share of the SNAP household's benefits for purposes of calculating the Earnfare hours of work obligation.
