REFERRAL TO E&T In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(2), in order to participate in SNAP E&T, the State agency must make the referral. The referral method may vary from participant to participant. What information does the State provide to E&T participants when they are referred? Select all that apply. Information about accessing E&T services Case Management Dates Contact information Other How is the referral communicated? Select all that apply. Orally Electronic Forms Physical Forms Emails Text Messages Other If the State receives a reverse referral request from an E&T provider, what steps does the State take? The E&T Providers refer the individual(s) (reverse referral) to DCBS when they are not active on SNAP or the E&T screening questions have not been completed. The E&T Provider will explain to the individual that SNAP benefits must be active to be referred to the E&T program. The E&T Provider explains their services and their participant reimbursements as well as transportation assistance the state provides to the individual. It is also explained that each month of participation the individual must complete the participation form to receive the transportation assistance. When the individual contacts DCBS, staff verbally explain during the SNAP interview the SNAP recipient will receive an appointment letter/phone call/text and/or email (based on their preferred mode of contact) within five business days of the interview. They will meet a coach/employment specialist with one of the E&T providers, determined based on the SNAP recipient’s physical address/county, who will assist them through the E&T enrollment process. DCBS staff will also explain about their right to receive participant reimbursement (monthly transportation assistance) as well as childcare assistance, if appropriate. Childcare is another public assistance program offered by the state. The appointment letter contains details such name, location, and phone number of the E&T provider. The participant will also have access to appointments and other information about benefits on the kynect benefits platform. They will return to the Provider who submitted the reverse referral unless the participant has moved out of the Provider’s area. 1/29/26, 8:20 AM State Plan KY FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-kyfy26stateplan//index.html 21/142
