PROGRAM CHANGES Summarize changes for the upcoming Federal fiscal year (FY) from the prior FY. Significant changes may include new initiatives, changes in funding or funding sources, policy changes, or significant changes to the number of partners or participants. Significant changes could include those made as a result of management evaluation findings or participation in program improvement initiatives, such as SNAP to Skills. It is not necessary to include changes made as a result of new Federal rulemaking. In FFY26, DHS's DFD plans to add a screening component to its ONETrac system to aid CSSA workers in adequately screening individuals for work registration and ABAWD regulations. Highlight any changes from above that the State agency is making to the E&T program based on the prior year’s performance, for instance changes made as a result of E&T outcome and participation data. NJDOL unveiled a new SNAP Skills, Training, Employment Program to Success (STEPS) NGO on August 26, 2025. Once the new grantees have been selected and awarded, this plan will be updated to reflect the changes. Additionally, Workforce Development Boards (WDBs) will be required to complete comprehensive monthly participant dashboards, a strategic move designed to significantly boost the tracking and enhancement of participant services. This robust approach aims to deliver more impactful support and drive superior outcomes for participants. 1/29/26, 9:17 AM State Plan NJ FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-njfy26stateplan//index.html 7/116
