TX HHS Form H1816. SNAP Employment and Training Noncompliance Report

The TX HHS Form H1816, SNAP Employment and Training Noncompliance Report, is a crucial tool for resolving non-participation issues in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). This form helps Eligibility Staff and Texas Works Staff address situations where clients fail to participate or respond to outreach efforts. It provides a structured framework for documenting good cause claims and outlining subsequent actions.

The report consists of two main parts: PART I, which outlines the reason for sanctioning a client, and PART II, which details the client's agreement to participate in the Employment Service Program after serving their penalty period. The form requires specific information, including the date of good cause claim, signatures from both TWC Staff and Eligibility staff, and a clear indication of whether the client has served their penalty period.

This report is essential for ensuring that SNAP clients are held accountable for their participation in employment services while also providing an opportunity for them to demonstrate good cause for noncompliance. Key features include:

• Documenting reasons for sanctioning a client
• Outlining subsequent actions and follow-up procedures
• Providing opportunities for clients to demonstrate good cause for noncompliance
