This policy directive is to inform districts that individuals who are required by the district to apply for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits as a condition of eligibility for temporary assistance are exempt from temporary assistance and food stamp work requirements. Districts cannot require these individuals to comply with employment activities until the district has determined, based on the documentation available, that the individual is nonexempt and no longer required to apply for SSI benefits as a condition of eligibility for temporary assistance benefits. Recipients who apply for SSI remain eligible to participate in employment activities on a voluntary basis and would therefore be eligible for supportive services which the district has determined are needed in order to enable the recipient to participate in the designated employment activity.
