TANF recipients who receive TANF and SNAP benefits concurrently, are not eligible for the supportive service limits in each category under both programs.

For SNAP recipients the Federal Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), supports the use of Federal SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) funds to provide training and educational activities to assist SNAP IMPACT participants in becoming employed.

SNAP recipients who obtain employment while participating in IMPACT may now receive clothing and transportation assistance, if needed, up to a maximum of 90 days from the begin date of their employment unless they lose eligibility for IMPACT services because of: • Case closure. • Removal from IMPACT.
