CNs review client's participation and their self-sufficency agreements during Case Mangement meetings to ensure that clients are progressing and meeting program goals. If the client is not meeting program goals, the CN will discuss this with the client and provide additional resources as needed. The CN may staff the case with a supervisor if the client is not achieving goals and they need assistance. How does the SNAP State agency ensure the case management services offered do not act as an impediment to successful participation in E&T? The state agency allows case management services to be offered in-person, by phone or virtually in order to prevent these services from impeding the client's participation in Mandatory E&T. The CNs are also trained to offer the client transportation assistance if the client is scheduled for an in-person appointment and states they are unable to attend in person. If transportation assistance will not alleviate the ability to attend the appointment in-person, the CN is trained to allow other avenues of service to the client, such as phone appointments. 1/29/26, 8:20 AM State Plan KS FY26 - Amendment 1 https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-ksfy26stateplan//index.html 29/71
