Information about the referral of a SNAP participant to E&T is communicated through a daily interface between DCF’s FLORIDA eligibility system and FloridaCommerce’s OSST system. Daily eligibility transactions are gathered and transmitted to FloridaCommerce via a nightly secure file transfer process. The FLORIDA data file contains demographics, unique identifiers, and SNAP E&T participation requirements. The nightly referral file automatically loads information about the customer and status of public assistance benefits into FloridaCommerce’s OSST system. The participant files are marked as ‘mandatory’ and routed to LWDBs based on address. For mandatory E&T participants, once FloridaCommerce receives a referral from DCF, the ETR is mailed the next business day by FloridaCommerce on behalf of the LWDBs and provides detailed instructions and action steps the mandatory E&T participant must take to complete the initial engagement process required to initiate their SNAP E&T program participation. The initial engagement steps are: 1. Participate in an online or in-person orientation to the SNAP E&T program. 2. Complete an online or in-person initial assessment. 1/28/26, 11:18 AM State Plan FL FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-flfy26stateplan//index.html 32/99
