Describe the process for screening for direct referral to E&T, including the staff involved. During the screening process, we provide the interviewee with information about what services are available, supportive services available, and if they choose to be referred, how they will receive an appointment for an orientation. The notice of the orientation is mailed from the eligibility system and provides the date, time and location of the orientation, and contact information. Each individual subject to work registration will receive an oral explanation of work requirements and they also will receive the consolidated notice with information about the work requirements to which they are subject. When does the screening for a reverse referral request occur? The screening and referral process for all adult SNAP applicants is conducted during every SNAP eligibility interview (intake and recertification). Describe the process for screening during the reverse referral request process, including the staff involved. We use reverse referrals only with our third-party partners. If they are screening someone from the community for their program and find that they are on SNAP and want to participate through SNAP E&T, they confirm with us (IMPACT policy), via a dedicated email address, that the person is on SNAP. If so, IMPACT policy will send the participant information to eligibility to have them refer the participant so they are scheduled for an orientation as soon as possible so the person can become a SNAP E&T participant and benefit from supportive services, etc. They will receive a notice in the mail regarding their SNAP Volunteer (SVOL) Orientation and Assessment (OAS) appointment. When they attend their SVOL OAS they will be given information regarding participant reimbursements they may be eligible to receive. Rights and responsibilities are discussed during initial eligibility interview as well as during their OAS. Are participants informed about participant reimbursements before the individual is referred to E&T by eligibility staff? Yes No How are participants informed about participant reimbursements? They are informed during their orientation presentation, as well as when they meet with their Career coach to develop their Self-sufficiency plan. 1/29/26, 8:20 AM State Plan IN FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-infy26stateplan//index.html 18/127
