contain the following information:

● Notification that, as part of the application process, applicants are required to develop an Employment Plan or the DWP application will be denied.

● The name and phone number of the Employment Services Provider.

● The immediate availability of supportive services, including, but not limited to, child care, transportation, and other work- related aid.

● The rights, responsibilities, and obligations of participants in the program, including, but not limited to, the grounds for good cause, the consequences of refusing or failing to participate fully with program requirements, and the appeal process.

As soon as possible, but no later than 10 working days of being notified that a participant is financially eligible for DWP, the Employment Services Provider must provide the participant with an opportunity to meet to develop an initial Employment Plan. The Employment Services Provider must notify the county within 1 working day that the initial Employment Plan has been developed and signed by the participant and the job counselor. The county must issue DWP benefits within 1 working day after receiving notice that the Employment Plan has been signed.

Participation in DWP Employment Services fulfills the requirements for SNAP E&T participation. Once DWP ends, participants may be subject to SNAP E&T requirements.

SNAP: Minnesota operates a voluntary SNAP Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) program. SNAP E&T is available to help any adult SNAP recipient get a new job or train for a career. The service is free and recipients can volunteer to work with an E&T provider. Workers must send an electronic WF1 Referral when a SNAP recipient volunteers to work with a SNAP E&T provider. To learn more see https://mn.gov/dhs/snap-e-and-t/ and TEMP Manual TE10.34 (Manual Referral Option for WF1).

MSA, GA, GRH: No provisions.
