Referral information is communicated within the state agency through Idaho’s eligibility system, IBES. All E&T referrals—both mandatory and voluntary—are initiated and recorded in IBES. The system displays key SNAP E&T program details, including E&T program requirements for each SNAP participant, ABAWD status, compliance status, and good cause for non-referral. For mandatory participants, system rules in IBES automatically identify when a referral is required and generate it accordingly. For voluntary participants, referrals are entered directly into IBES by E&T program staff. An indicator is placed on the case to reflect referral status, along with the date the referral was made. 1/28/26, 11:54 AM State Plan ID FY26 - Amendment 1 https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-idfy26stateplan//index.html 30/100
