I. PURPOSE This is to summarize a series of releases (including GIS 93 ES/DC028, 91 ADM-39, 90 ADM-27) regarding the selection of head of household for food stamp employment purposes. Most recently, we have received some questions regarding a household's right to select an adult parent of children (of any age) living in the household, or an adult who has parental control over children (under 18 years of age) living in the household as head of the household. This Administrative Directive (ADM) will clarify when households can select their head of household, who must be selected, and the impact of that selection on voluntary quit provisions as well as on non-compliance with Food Stamps Employment & Training (FSE&T) or comparable JOBS activities.
