Each year, counties and Tribal Nations submit an annual SNAP E&T workplan describing how SNAP E&T services will be delivered, coordination with other employment programs, and client support systems. The SNAP E&T workplan template is an online form which includes the option for application of both 100 percent funds, as well as 50 percent reimbursement funds. Plan development consists of a joint effort between the county or Tribal Nation and their chosen ESP. Counties and Tribal Nations may choose to submit their workplan as a single entity, or as a consortium of counties with a single county acting as fiscal host. Third party providers that are contracted directly with DCYF for 50 percent reimbursement also complete a similar annual partner agency workplan. Workplans provide an estimate of the number of participants expected to be served, a list of activities and services to be delivered, and a detailed budget estimating the amount that will be spent on the program. Referrals to all applicable programs such as the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), including WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth; Job Service; rehabilitation services; English as a Second Language (ESL); Adult Basic Education (ABE); and various education programs help ensure that participants receive the necessary services to enable them to work toward self-sufficiency. ESPs communicate with eligibility workers, when necessary, especially for time-limited SNAP recipients, and maintain the participant case record information in the State’s web-based client management system, Workforce One (WF1), for all of their E&T participants. Counties, Tribal Nations, and third-party providers are able to submit modifications to their plans throughout the year. DCYF reviews these plans to determine if county agencies, Tribal Nations, and ESPs are carrying out their respective roles and responsibilities according to program requirements and monitors on a scheduled basis. Describe how the State agency monitors county operations. DCYF monitors fiscal procedures and expenditures of counties and Tribal Nations that are anticipated to receive more than $250,000 at least every other year, and all other counties and Tribal Nations at least one time every five years. DCYF also conducts bi-annual systematic case file reviews focused on subpopulations of active SNAP E&T records across the state. Third party providers that are contracted directly with DCYF are monitored at least annually. This includes monitoring of several counties as a number of these providers are also county partners. The level of monitoring is based on an annual risk assessment, but always includes at a minimum, a monitoring meeting and a monitoring questionnaire. Corrective actions are issued to agencies where deficiencies are identified. 1/29/26, 8:18 AM State Plan MN FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-mnfy26stateplan//index.html 4/253
