When does screening for referral to E&T occur? Select all that apply. Initial Certification Recertification Reported change in the work registrant status of households Other Describe the process for screening for direct referral to E&T, including the staff involved. Eligibility workers inform households of resources available through the SNAP E&T program, and then screen. SNAP applicants/recipients who express interest in employment and training services (by answering “yes” to either of the two screening questions) are referred to SNAP E&T. If answering “no” to both questions, eligibility workers case note that the household had been screened, and that if anyone in the household later decides to participate, they may. This process takes place, at minimum, during the certification/recertification interview. Having a date in the SNAP E&T Referral Date field indicates that a referral was made. The Decline SNAP E&T field initiates or declines the electronic referral from MAXIS to WF1. The system only allows this field to be completed for TLRs. A “Y” declines the referral option, while a “N” generates the referral option. If a referral is generated, the eligibility worker is able to select a provider from the list based on what is available in their area. Those referred receive a customized paper referral. In addition to a paper referral, a MAXIS-generated referral directly to WF1 is also created for TLRs who wish to be referred. When does the screening for a reverse referral request occur? Screening is completed by eligibility at certification and recertification for all SNAP applicants/recipients. Since ESPs have read-only access to the MAXIS eligibility system, providers are able to view the STAT/WREG panel to ensure screening and referral had been done prior to enrollment in the SNAP E&T program. If a referral was not made, the Employment Services Provider (ESP) will request one from eligibility.
