Section III-1951 - StrikersA. For SNAP purposes, a striker is defined as anyone involved in a strike or concerted stoppage of work by employees (including a stoppage by reason of the expiration of a collective-bargaining agreement) and any concerted slowdown or other concerted interruption of operations by employees. Any employee engaged in a lockout, however, is not deemed to be a striker.B. Strikers shall be subject to the work registration requirement unless otherwise exempt.C. Effective March 1, 1983, households with striking members shall be ineligible to participate in SNAP unless the household was eligible for benefits the day prior to the strike and is otherwise eligible at the time of application. However, such a household shall not receive an increased allotment as the result of a decrease in the income of the striking member(s) of the household. Eligibility shall be determined by considering the day prior to the strike as if it were the day of application and assume the strike did not occur. Eligibility at time of application shall be determined by comparing the striking member's income before the strike to the striker's current income and adding the higher of the two to the current income of nonstriking members during the month of application. To determine benefits, deduction shall be calculated for the month of application as for any other household. Whether the striker's pre-striker earnings are used or his current income is used, the earnings deduction shall be allowed if appropriate.La. Admin. Code tit. 67, § III-1951
