  shall develop a written employability plan, pursuant to sections 335 and
  335-a  of  the  social  services  law,  for each applicant or recipient,
  provided that the agency is not required to complete an  assessment  for
  applicants  for  and  recipients  of  food  stamps  only who are already
  engaged in unsubsidized employment. Prior to the assessment, the  agency

  participating in training or education is found not to be  eligible  for
  training and education as set forth in section 21-703, the reasons shall
  be specified in the employability plan.
    d.  The  agency  will  conduct  a  reassessment of employability for a
  participant who expresses an interest in discontinuing a  work  activity
  to which that individual has been assigned and enrolling in an education
  or  training  program  if  the  participant has been engaged in the work
  activity for six months or more, or the participant's  assignment  to  a
  work  activity  ends and the agency seeks to reassign the participant to
  another work activity.
