The following persons are mandatory work registrants under federal regulations. However, Missouri policy excludes them due to the impracticality of completing a successful job search, education, or training program.
NOTE: These individuals may volunteer to participate in the Missouri Employment and Training Program. If they volunteer, enter code 22 in the code field and MIV (mandatory immediate volunteer) in the status field on the Employment Assessment (EMPLOY/FMMS) screen.
Individuals who are mandated to comply with work requirements, but who are excluded work registrants are EU members who:
- Have a temporary mental or physical disability that is expected to last less than 60 days. Re-evaluate these individuals at the end of 60 days. Temporary disabilities include acute mental problem(s) or emotional strain (such as caused by the death of a family member) or any medical condition that hinders a person from working (such as a broken limb). If the disability lasts more than 60 days, exempt the individual. code 05
