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? When a potential participant first interacts with E&T through a Service Provider, the Provider staff completes a short assessment of the individual to determine if the Provider’s services are a good match for the individual’s needs. If there is a good match to the Provider’s services, and a spot is available, the Provider confirms with DBME that the individual is a SNAP participant and can participate in E&T. This is done through the Tableau Referral Report. If the participant was not referred during the initial screening, the Provider may request a referral by completing a designated referral request form, which is received by FAA. The FAA Eligibility Worker screens and determines the appropriateness of referral during the initial or recertification interview process, or when a change is reported that causes the participant to no longer be eligible for a work exemption, or when a participant indicates they are interested in E&T. When a participant is a work registrant with no exemption, and the participant meets the State specific criteria, the FAA Eligibility Worker completes the E&T referral. For participants who do not meet the State specific criteria, who are exempt from the work requirements, and for whom a referral was not made at the last interview, a referral is provided when a participant contacts an FAA eligibility worker. 1/27/26, 9:53 AM State Plan AZ FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-azfy26stateplan//index.html 30/130
