reimbursements throughout the course of case management. Participants are informed they may request reimbursement at any time during their participation and are provided with instructions on how to do so. Participant reimbursements are also discussed at time of case management. This includes addressing barriers that may occur during SNAP E&T participation. Participants are advised to contact case managers to assist with any reasonable and necessary reimbursements to successfully participate with SNAP E&T. If a third-party partner does not provide participant reimbursements, they are referred back to the state for this service. The state issues reimbursements directly to participants using 50/50 funding or TANF funds (if there are dependents in the home under the age of 18). Participants are typically contacted the same day the request is received to begin the process, and in every case, are contacted within 24 hours, ensuring participants have timely access to the supports necessary to successfully engage in SNAP E&T activities. 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 51/159
