Describe any special State initiatives (i.e. Governor-initiated or through State legislation) that include SNAP E&T. Describe any efforts taken by the State agency to coordinate these programs, services, partners, and/or activities with the State's E&T program. N/A Describe the extent to which the State agency is carrying out SNAP E&T programs in coordination with title I programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). We refer clients to WIOA programs. Per our agreement with Workforce Alliance of South Central Kansas (WASCK) we encourage dual enrollment in E&T and WIOA. WASCK is a 50/50 provider developing an intermediary model. As they work through this process, we suggested they change the nature of their current partnership with The Women's Network to add that organization as their first intermediary. The Women's Network has expressed interest in partnering with DCF, however, their training program is limited to women in the Wichita area who are survivors of domestic violence. Due to the low number of DCF clients meeting those eligibility requirements, The Women's Network is more appropriate providing services through WASCK with them acting as our first intermediary. Is SNAP E&T included as a partner in the State's WIOA Combined Plan? Yes No Describe how the State agency is coordinating with TANF/GA programs, services, partners, and/or activities. Describe any TANF/GA special initiatives targeting specific populations and any actions taken to coordinate with these efforts. DCF administers TANF for the State of Kansas. All coordination is easily accomplished as the TANF program leadership are internal to DCF. Specific areas that E&T and WFS work together include the following: 1. Meeting with the Kansas Dept. of Commerce to better integrate with the Workforce Centers across Kansas. The objective for both E&T clients and WFS. The Dept. of Commerce has asked E&T and WFS to be part of their Strategic Planning Sessions in 2026. 2. Shared conversations on a large Affordable Housing project starting in Topeka that will present future housing and employment opportunities. 3. Resources between the two groups are shared and communicate through our Community Engagement Coordinators allowing clients of both programs to access specific resources across the state. Describe how the State agency is coordinating its SNAP E&T program with any other Federal or State employment program (e.g. HUD, child support, re-entry, refugee services). Kansas Department for Children and Families meets quarterly with the Kansas Office for Refugees (KSOR) to discuss services offered by both agencies, best practices for serving refugee clients, and strategies to ensure we are not duplicating services to refugee clients. DCF exempts refugee clients receiving employment services through a refugee organization from participation in Mandatory E&T. 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 6/71
