Yes No Describe how the State agency is coordinating with TANF/GA programs, services, partners, and/or activities. Describe any TANF/GA special initiatives targeting specific populations and any actions taken to coordinate with these efforts. Delaware’s SNAP E&T Administrator works closely with the TANF/GA Senior Administrator to stay informed of TANF and GA employment and training services and partnerships. Both program administrators participate on Delaware’s WIOA Leadership Team and coordinate with Delaware’s Workforce Development Board (DWDB) and the Delaware Department of Labor (DOL). DSS has an integrated application process and data system that determines eligibility for SNAP, TANF, GA, Medicaid, Child Care Assistance, Refugee Services, TANF E&T, and SNAP E&T. This creates a coordination of services within these programs. Delaware’s eligibility system is programmed to refer SNAP recipients who volunteer for E&T to the SNAP E&T program. A SNAP recipient receiving TANF will always be referred to the TANF E&T program. Delaware’s eligibility system is programmed to assign TANF E&T before assigning SNAP E&T in its hierarchy. Coordination between SNAP and TANF is also accomplished with the E&T vendor, Career Team. Career Team provides E&T services for TANF and SNAP recipients and reports participation information to DSS for both programs. E&T referrals sent to Career Team from the State’s eligibility system specify if the client is a SNAP ABAWD, a SNAP Non-ABAWD, or a TANF client. Each referral is screened, and the vendor also ensures that participants receiving SNAP and TANF are enrolled in the TANF E&T program only. SNAP recipients not receiving TANF will only receive SNAP E&T services. Delaware’s E&T system is monitored by the SNAP E&T Administrator and the DSS Information Systems Unit to ensure that E&T referrals are being directed to the appropriate program. Describe how the State agency is coordinating its SNAP E&T program with any other Federal or State employment program (e.g. HUD, child support, re-entry, refugee services). DSS coordinates employment and training services for SNAP recipients eligible for Delaware’s Refugee Resettlement Program with the State’s Refugee E&T vendor, Jewish Family Services. This vendor provides case management, English as a second language, enculturation, employment preparation, interviewing skills, communication skills, job placement, job retention, and other supportive services for SNAP recipients eligible for benefits as refugees or asylees. DSS also coordinates with the Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) for E&T services for SNAP recipients in their Fatherhood Program. The Delaware Fatherhood Program is designed to assist parents find jobs, gain employment skills, sustain employment, and achieve economic stability.
