The State of Louisiana has a voluntary SNAP E&T program where individuals are referred from community based organizations and community/technical colleges to participate in the SNAP E&T program through a reverse referral process. The individual initiates contact with the SNAP E&T provider of choice. Therefore, all individuals are charged the same amount for all activites provided by the SNAP E&T provider before and after the SNAP E&T provider knows the individual is a SNAP recipient. In addition, the State of Louisiana utilizes a cost reimbursement contract with all SNAP E&T providers. The SNAP E&T providers incur the actual costs for services provided to all individuals in their programs. The costs that are associated with individuals who are eligible for SNAP E&T are reimbursed through the monthly invoice process. SNAP E&T conducts onsite monitoring visits with providers to ensure program compliance. During monitoring visits with the provider provides funding proof for participants in the form of billing statements for SNAP E&T participants and non-participants. This is compared to the costs invoiced by the provider. Outcome Measure Describe the methodology for the outcome reporting measure.
