Describe the extent to which the State agency is carrying out SNAP E&T programs in coordination with title I programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). HHS encourages all SNAP E&T Service Providers to collaborate with IWD and WIOA staff for referrals and coordination of services between SNAP E&T and Title I WIOA programs to provide or supplement WIOA services when necessary to meet participant needs. Iowa’s intermediary contract with IWD includes the use of the SNAP module within their electronic data management system Geographic Solutions (GeoSol). This is the same system used for Title 1 WIOA and programs. All SNAP E&T Providers are required to document and maintain all participant records for E&T activities within the SNAP module. System privileges and access are in place to allow specific access to staff, depending upon the staff role. Staff privileges and rights can be modified as needed to allow for easier coordination of services ensure non- duplication. All costs related to the use of GeoSol are specific to SNAP E&T for the annual licensing fee and any system modifications determined necessary for administering the program. SNAP E&T funds are used only to provide services specific to E&T. Is SNAP E&T included as a partner in the State's WIOA Combined Plan? 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. HHS administers Iowa’s FIP (TANF cash assistance) program along with SNAP. An individual's FIP eligibility status is verified at both initial referral to E&T and on a monthly basis to ensure a participant is not receiving FIP simultaneously with SNAP E&T services. IWD is also the provider of Iowa’s TANF employment and training program, PROMISE JOBS. Training regarding Iowa’s SNAP E&T program was completed by all PROMISE JOBS team members in June 2025 with the goal to increase awareness of the program for referral opportunities. 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). The SNAP E&T Service Provider Case Managers include referrals to other programs when necessary to receive services not provided by SNAP E&T. With IWD as the Intermediary Administrator, SNAP E&T is directly connected to the services of WIOA and other federal and state employment programs. 1/28/26, 11:53 AM State Plan IA FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-iafy26stateplan//index.html 8/105
