Are participants informed about participant reimbursements before the individual is referred to E&T by eligibility staff? Yes No How are participants informed about participant reimbursements? Participants are informed about participant reimbursements through multiple touchpoints to ensure they are aware of the support available to them: During the SNAP Interview, the eligibility staff inform participants orally about the availability of reimbursements when they apply for or recertify their SNAP benefits. Written Notice, Reimbursement information is included in the consolidated notice provided to participants after SNAP certification. This notice outlines their rights and responsibilities, including the fact that participation in E&T is voluntary and that there is no cost to participate. At Provider Intake and Orientation, once referred to or enrolled in an E&T program, E&T providers reiterate the availability of reimbursements during intake, orientation, and assessment. Providers explain what types of reimbursements are offered—such as for transportation, uniforms, tools, books, and testing fees—and how to request them. Ongoing Communication and Case Management, Providers continue to inform and remind participants about reimbursements monthly, during case management sessions and as needed throughout their participation in E&T services. 1/29/26, 8:19 AM State Plan LA FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-lafy26stateplan//index.html 27/115
