number of the individual into SNAP Works to verify the SNAP case status. The SNAP E&T provider moves forward with case management if the individual receives SNAP benefits. SNAP recipients are screened by eligibility staff during certification and recertification. A case note is entered in LITE documenting the individual was screened for appropriateness for SNAP E&T. For those recipients who have expressed interest in SNAP E&T to their case worker at the time of certification and recertification, via LITE integration with SNAP Works, they are referred to the appropriate provider program based on models offered in Louisiana and the household’s parish. This shows up as an actionable task for the provider on their SNAP Works Dashboard. How is information about the referral communicated within the State agency? Referral communication within the State agency is done through LITE (eligibility system). The eligibility worker will be prompted by a mandatory question in LITE (eligibility system) to ask the individual if he/she is interested in participating in the SNAP E&T program. If the individual is interested in participating in the SNAP E&T program, the eligibility staff will indicate “Yes”. Another mandatory question will populate to ask what SNAP E&T program model the individual is interested in such as culinary, construction, medical, etc. A task will then be generated in LITE to interface with SNAP Works to assign the task to a provider based on the parish or region which the recipient resides. All E&T staff have access to LITE and can review screening and referral information if necessary, should the need arise. All SNAP E&T Providers are required to verify and report ABAWD participation: each provider must check the Household Summary tab in SNAP Works to determine whether a participant is an ABAWD; if so, they must complete the ABAWD 6 – Verification of ABAWD Volunteer Hours form and immediately submit it to SNAPE&T.DCFS@LA.GOV. Upon receipt, SNAP E&T staff will forward the form to the relevant SNAP eligibility worker and supervisor. Should the participant cease participation at any point, the provider must promptly email SNAPE&T.DCFS@LA.GOV to notify the appropriate SNAP eligibility worker and supervisor, and all actions (form submissions, emails, status changes) must be documented in the participant’s case notes. After referral, what additional steps does the E&T participant take to access the program? Select all that apply. Assessment Orientation Meet with case manager Other Is orientation mandatory?
