Purpose

To provide a two-way communication form between eligibility staff and employment contractor staff administering Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) employment services.

Procedure

When to Prepare

The employment contractor staff send eligibility staff Form H1816 to:

  • report to eligibility staff a client's noncompliance; and
  • provide to eligibility staff the contractor's recommendation on a client's claim of good cause for noncompliance.

Staff sends the employment contractor Form H1816 to report that:

  • a client has served their penalty period and agrees to comply with employment and training requirements; or
  • a client wishes to claim good cause for not complying with an employment and training requirement.

After the client has agreed to comply, if the client requests, eligibility staff may provide Form H1816 to the client to take to the Texas Workforce Commission.

Transmittal

The originator sends the original and copy one to the respondent and retains copy two. If a response is needed, the respondent makes his response, returns the original to the originator, and retains copy one (the respondent may initiate a new Form H1816 instead, if desired.)
