What is the State's model for screening and referral to SNAP E&T? Select all that apply. Reverse Referral Direct Referral When does screening for referral to E&T occur? Select all that apply. Initial Certification Recertification Reported change in the work registrant status of households Other Describe the process for screening for direct referral to E&T, including the staff involved. During the eligibility interview, eligibility staff will be screening households to refer then to E&T providers' intake sessions. Based on the result of the screening for work registration and whether each household member is a mandatory work registrant and non-work registrant (exempt), the individual will be asked by the EW if he/she wants to engage with services within E&T, both as a means to meet work requirements and to start the pathway to self-sufficiency. A script is being developed to be used a part of the relaunch of the "More than a Job" campaign. A technical assist has been requested from FNS WRO to present in late August or early September 2025. When does the screening for a reverse referral request occur? E&T providers may also work with interested individuals receiving assistance from their organization that may be eligible for SNAP. A current process is in place with our community college partner, University of Hawaii, to refer students currently receiving SNAP assistance to participate with E&T through the use of a departmental form (DHS 880) to allow the individual to be selected for participation in the HANA system (DHS MIS for case management for E&T) through coding from our existing SNAP eligibility system (HAWI). Describe the process for screening during the reverse referral request process, including the staff involved. E&T case managers will complete an intake session with the SNAP participant. A DHS 880 is submitted to the eligibility processing center via email to then reclassify the SNAP household member to be referred in the HANA system for selection for participation with the E&T provider. Are participants informed about participant reimbursements before the individual is referred to E&T by eligibility staff?
