NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: JOB RETENTION Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services. Job Retention activities include coaching, communication, training, and other services intended to support continued employment after a participant secures a job. These activities may also involve helping participants access eligible support services that contribute to improved retention outcomes. Retention services must be provided for a minimum of 30 days and may not exceed 90 days. Providers may choose to offer additional retention support beyond this period using their own resources. SNAP E&T staff are responsible for tracking participation data to ensure compliance with service timelines. All participants receiving retention services are monitored to confirm that the 30–90 day window is observed. After 90 days, participants are automatically exited from SNAP E&T through the program’s system, and no further reimbursements may be issued beyond that point. Indicate the Target Population this component will serve. Select all that apply. ABAWDs Homeless Returning citizens (aka: ex-offenders) Single parents Students Underemployed Veterans Describe the criteria for participation. Include the skills, knowledge, or experience necessary for participation in the component. For example, literacy or numeracy levels, recent labor market attachment, computer literacy, etc. Job Retention may only be entered once a SNAP E&T participant has become employed and exited all other SNAP E&T Components. It cannot serve as a participant’s initial Component. Individuals who are employed but continue to receive SNAP benefits and remain engaged in other SNAP E&T Components—such as training or job placement—are not considered to be participating in Job Retention. No additional minimum skills, knowledge, or experience are required for entry into job retention. Will this component be offered statewide?
