PROGRAM CHANGES Summarize changes for the upcoming Federal fiscal year (FY) from the prior FY. Significant changes may include new initiatives, changes in funding or funding sources, policy changes, or significant changes to the number of partners or participants. Significant changes could include those made as a result of management evaluation findings or participation in program improvement initiatives, such as SNAP to Skills. It is not necessary to include changes made as a result of new Federal rulemaking. DCF is adding Work Experience activities in the largest Kansas communities for SNAP E&T participants. We plan to expand the availability of those activities to more communities throughout the state. We are working to add Wichita Workforce Alliance as a SNAP E&T intermediary with the understanding that they will partner with Goodwill and The Women's Network. We are exploring opportunities to create new 50/50 partnerships throughout the state, focusing on partnerships that will allow us to add new components. We are working with DCF Communications to personalize the More Than A Job campaign materials for the Kansas Mandatory E&T program. We also were chosen to receive technical support through LRG to personalize the More Than A Job campaign. Project goals are: i. Develop clear, consistent engaging messaging that staff can use when communicating with every mandatory SNAP E&T participant ii. Build a storytelling framework that highlights participant success stories and community partners iii. Create outreach materials and strategies that align with the More Than a Job theme to increase program visibility. Highlight any changes from above that the State agency is making to the E&T program based on the prior year’s performance, for instance changes made as a result of E&T outcome and participation data. We continue to explore opportunities to add the Work Experience component to provide expanded options to serve SNAP E&T participants. By increasing the number of providers and the number of activities, we will create additional opportunities for SNAP E&T participants to experience positive employment outcomes. 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 4/71
