● Provide an orientation and SNAP E&T services to all SNAP participants who are required to participate. See 0028.09 (ES Overview/SNAP E&T Orientation).
● Provide needed support services so that participants are capable of participating in SNAP E&T without out-of-pocket costs.
● Assess, monitor, evaluate, and manage service delivery by the county agency’s ESPs.
● Complete program funding requirements.
Limit participation in the SNAP E&T program to 20 hours a week to allow time for job search. County agencies must require each participant to spend at least 20 hours a week in SNAP E&T program activities.
When a client moves to a different county or there is a change in service provider, the former county or former service provider who performed the initial assessment and Employment Plan (EP) or has the pertaining documents must make those documents available to the new county or the new provider.
DHS retains ownership of any SNAP E&T document for which it has reimbursed the cost. This declaration must be incorporated in any service contract between the county and a service provider.
