How is the offer of qualifying activities made? Include the process the State agency uses to ensure that ABAWDs receive an offer of a qualifying component for every month they are in jeopardy of losing benefits beyond the 3-month time limit. Idaho serves all non-exempt ABAWDs through its SNAP Employment & Training (E&T) program. The offer of qualifying activities is made during the initial engagement appointment with an Employment Coach. At this time, the participant’s Work Plan is developed based on their assessment, and qualifying activities— aligned with SNAP E&T components and sufficient to meet the ABAWD work requirement—are discussed and incorporated into their assigned activities. The offer is made directly and verbally during this appointment, with follow-up provided in writing through a mailed or emailed Work Plan summary and instructions. For participants who do not have access to email, all materials are mailed. To ensure that at-risk ABAWDs—those approaching the 3-month time limit—receive an offer of a qualifying component for every month they are at risk, Employment Coaches conduct case management activities at least every 30 days. These contacts, which may occur in person, via web-based platforms, or by phone, are used to re-engage at-risk individuals and ensure that qualifying activities are again offered and available to support ongoing compliance with work requirements. The next set of questions is intended to establish the State agency's overall capacity and ability to serve all ABAWDs subject to the criteria under 7 CFR 273.7(d)(3)(i) during the fiscal year through the services available in SNAP E&T as well as through other qualifying activities available through other Federal or State employment and training programs. In addition to SNAP E&T components, qualifying activities for ABAWDs include programs that operate outside of SNAP E&T. Such as Optional Workfare programs, WIOA title I programs, programs under Section 236 of the Trade Act of 1974, Veterans employment and training programs offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Labor, and Workforce Partnerships in accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(n). What services and activities will be provided through SNAP E&T to ABAWDs that the State plans to serve? Basic / Foundational Skills Instruction Career / Technical Education Programs or other Vocational Training Job Search Training Supervised Job Search What services and activities will be provided outside of SNAP E&T? List the services, activities, and the operating program, such as title 1 of WIOA. Idaho offers a range of services and activities to support ABAWDs in meeting work requirements, including those available outside of the SNAP Employment & Training (E&T) program. These services are delivered through partnerships with workforce and education providers and are not funded by SNAP E&T.
