To ensure participants have access to necessary supports before beginning services, Louisiana’s SNAP E&T providers assess participant needs for reimbursements—such as transportation, uniforms, tools, and other reasonable, necessary, and allowable expenses—during orientation or intake. These needs are documented in the participant’s case notes, which are entered into the SNAP Works system. SNAP E&T Providers are responsible for initiating reimbursement requests. Reimbursement requests include appropriate documentation and are submitted for review and approval as part of the monthly invoicing process. The state agency encourages SNAP E&T providers to issue reimbursements in advance or at the time the expense is incurred, whenever possible, to eliminate barriers to participation and ensure timely engagement in assigned E&T components. 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 50/115
