COMPLIANCE ADDENDUM OVERVIEW The purpose of the State Plan Compliance Addendum is to ensure approval of compliant SNAP E&T State Plans and increase accountability for FNS and State staff in working towards actionable timelines. FNS must address compliance issues found in the SNAP E&T State Plan during the State Plan review process with State agencies and should address all possible compliance issues before October 1, to allow for timely approval of the State plan. If the State agency indicates that the compliance issue(s) identified in the State Plan cannot be remedied before October 1, the State Plan Compliance Addendum must be completed by FNS and the State agency. The Addendum becomes part of the approved E&T State Plan and details the steps and timeline States will use to come into compliance with the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended (FNA), SNAP regulations, and FNS guidance. Therefore, the Addendum is subject to review by FNS during the Management Evaluation (ME) process. The State agency's failure to comply with the action steps and timeline specified in the Addendum may be subject to corrective action under the ME process and carry over into next year's Compliance Addendum.

As per 7 CFR 273.7(c)(5), state agencies must design their E&T programs in consultation with the State workforce development board, or with private employers or employer organizations if the State agency determines the latter approach is more effective and efficient. Steps State will take to meet requirement Projected Completion Date Actual Completion Date State will meet with FNS to develop a work plan on how to engage the State Workforce Board to ensure that they are permanently a part of the state plan process moving forward. 03/31/2026 1/28/26, 11:52 AM State Plan HI FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-hify26stateplan//index.html 86/86
