Tools, documentation guidance and referral pathways for the people who meet with SNAP clients.
You don’t need to become a SNAP expert overnight. SaveMySNAP provides the tools and referral pathways to help clients understand their options and take action.
Take the TogetherNow SNAP Work Rules Screener with the client. It takes a few minutes and tells you immediately whether the new rules apply to their household.
Not every exemption is listed here. Call a navigator at (585) 413-5091 to confirm a client’s status.
Help clients provide proof of employment, training participation, volunteer hours, or exemption status. LDSS forms differ by county — start with the client’s county office.
If your client lives in Monroe County, visit Rochester Works! for employment services, training opportunities and workforce supports. If your client lives in another county, refer to the local Workforce Development Board.
Proof of work, training, volunteer hours or an exemption goes to your county Department of Social Services. The forms are called LDSS forms, and each county handles them a little differently.
Visit Monroe County’s site for links to common forms, or pick your county below. If you are not sure which form you need, call (585) 413-5091 and we will walk through it with you.
Each county link goes to that county’s Department of Social Services. Direct links to individual LDSS documents will be added as they are gathered.
No. Run the screener, sort the client into Option A or Option B, help them document it, and refer out. Our navigators handle the complex cases.
Exemptions that previously covered older adults 55–64, parents of children 14 and over, veterans, former foster youth, and people experiencing homelessness no longer apply. Screen anyone in those groups first.
No. The three-year ABAWD time limit is not a sanction. Clients can reapply and regain eligibility by documenting work, training, volunteering, or an exemption.
Yes. Volunteering at an approved nonprofit in the community is one of the ways to meet the requirement, alongside paid work and approved job training.
