REFERRAL TO E&T In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(2), in order to participate in SNAP E&T, the State agency must make the referral. The referral method may vary from participant to participant. What information does the State provide to E&T participants when they are referred? Select all that apply. Information about accessing E&T services Case Management Dates Contact information Other How is the referral communicated? Select all that apply. Orally Electronic Forms Physical Forms Emails Text Messages Other If the State receives a reverse referral request from an E&T provider, what steps does the State take? Once a case manager receives a reverse referral from a Partner, the case manager screens the client for A- RESET eligibility. The case manager first reviews the assessment received. The assessment is reviewed to verify that the client has answered all areas of the assessment. The case manager checks to see if the client has an active SNAP case, checking to see if the client’s Work Registration Code and Cert eligibility is active, ensuring they are included in the budget, and if the client is receiving TANF benefits. Along with checking eligibility status, the case managers are responsible for checking to see if the client is appropriate for the A-RESET program. The case manager will check the voluntary quit section to see if the eligibility worker has checked off that the client is appropriate after asking the three designated questions. If the client has been determined not appropriate, the case manager will ask the eligibility worker to reevaluate for appropriateness. Once these determinations have been approved, the Partner will be notified of the client’s eligibility. 1/27/26, 9:44 AM State Plan AL FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-alabamafy26stateplan//index.html 21/192
