20-01 Version of 3.3 New Referrals

A new referral is systematically generated when a FoodShare member is determined to be an ABAWD who is not meeting the work requirement outside of FSET. This is called a TLB (time-limited benefit) referral. Individuals with a TLB referral will only exhaust a TLB in months when the work requirement is not met. A new referral is also generated when a non-ABAWD or an ABAWD who is meeting the work requirement outside of FSET requests a referral to be sent. This is called a non-TLB referral. ABAWDs with a non-TLB referral will exhaust a TLB if they stop meeting the ABAWD work requirement.

CWW is designed to send new FSET referrals from IM workers to the FSET Tool when an IM worker confirms eligibility and processes the referral. As a result, a new referral may be sent to the FSET agency prior to or after the FoodShare eligibility start date. Only FoodShare eligible individuals can participate in FSET. FSET agencies must carefully monitor referrals for the effective date of FoodShare eligibility. FSET agencies must not enroll or begin providing FSET services to participants prior to the date in which the individual is eligible for FoodShare.
