In Nebraska, case management services are delivered by WCs and E&T Providers as a core function of SNAP E&T service delivery. Case management is integrated into the participant’s experience from the point of referral through ongoing engagement in program components. Upon referral to a WC or E&T Provider, it is expected that the assigned entity will provide comprehensive case management services. In instances where a participant is co-enrolled in multiple programs (e.g., WIOA, Vocational Rehabilitation), co-case management may occur to ensure coordinated service delivery and reduce duplication. Each WC or E&T provider is responsible for delivering case management to their assigned E&T participants. Services may be provided in person or virtually, depending on the participant’s preference and accessibility. How does the SNAP State agency ensure the case management services offered do not act as an impediment to successful participation in E&T? Key case management activities include: • Conducting an employability assessment upon enrollment and updating it as needed • Developing and updating individualized Employment Plans • Facilitating weekly check-ins to monitor progress, discuss challenges, and adjust service strategies • Identifying and addressing barriers to employment (e.g., transportation, housing, skill gaps) • Providing ongoing encouragement, referrals to supportive services, and connections to employment opportunities This approach ensures participants receive consistent guidance, support, and accountability throughout their time in the SNAP E&T program, promoting long-term success and movement toward self-sufficiency. 1/29/26, 9:15 AM State Plan NE FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-nefy26stateplan//index.html 41/159
