Payment rates per Indiana county can be found here: FSSA: Carefinder: Provider Reimbursements https://www.in.gov/fssa/carefinder/provider-reimbursements/ How is childcare paid for? Direct payment to provider Reimbursement to participants Provider voucher Contract for dependent care Other If dependent care agencies have a waiting list or otherwise cap the number of enrolled dependents, how will the State agency ensure E&T participants with dependent care needs receive dependent care? Indiana operates a voluntary E & T program. Only Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents are subject to time limited benefits, and by the nature of their status, do not require childcare services. At the current time, the Division of Family Resources is unable to offer childcare services to SNAP E & T participants. We are including childcare costs in our state plan and will offer childcare if that option becomes available. How does the State agency ensure that the participant has the necessary participant reimbursements to begin participation in the E&T program? During the participants orientation they complete a self-assessment and list all of their barriers, this is then discussed with their case manager during the creation of their self-sufficiency plan at which time the barriers are addressed, and vouchers are issued if needed. 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 37/127
