Employment First (EF)
3 rules
In Colorado, the Employment and Training program is called EF. The purpose of the program is to assist members of households participating in SNAP in gaining skills, training, work, or experience that will increase their ability to obtain employment. CDHS must submit an annual Employment and Training State Plan for approval by the USDA, Food and Nutrition Service. A copy of the CDHS Employment and Training plan is available at https://cdhs.colorado.gov/benefits-assistance/employment-assistance/colorado-employment-first. The EF program is a voluntary work program for SNAP applicants and recipients. Failure to participate with the EF program will not result in a work requirement disqualification.
