SCREENING FOR REFERRAL TO E&T The State agency must screen each work registrant to determine if it is appropriate, based on State-specific criteria, to refer them to the E&T program per 7 CFR 273.7 (c)(2). State agencies may operate program components in which individuals elect to participate, per 7 CFR 273.7(e)(4). List the State-specific criteria eligibility workers use to screen individuals to determine if it is appropriate to refer them to the State's SNAP E&T program. The eligibility staff member screens each applicant for appropriateness for the SNAPET program. The State criteria is as follows: the individual requests to participate in the SNAPET program after learning about SNAPET and the benefits of the program, is 16 or older and if under 18 years of age has a high school diploma or High School Equivalency (HSE), does not receive state or federal disability payments, has not applied for or is pending SSI, is not receiving TANF benefits, does not have apparent use of drugs or alcohol, and who does not lack a fixed, regular, and/or nighttime residence. If a household has an unusual circumstance that would not make them appropriate for the available SNAPET services, the eligibility staff member has discretion for referring to SNAPET. What information does the State provide to a SNAP recipient to explain SNAP E&T participation criteria? During the initial SNAP certification or recertification interview or when the work registrant status changes the eligibility staff informs the SNAP applicant about the SNAPET program including the available components, supportive services, and how to access the services if referred. The eligibility staff member screens each applicant for appropriateness for the SNAPET program based on the information provided, visual observations and verbal information given during the application process. Once the screening has been completed, if the individual meets all the screening criteria and volunteers to participate, the individual is referred by eligibility staff to the SNAPET staff via the established SNAPET email account. If the individual requests to participate in the SNAPET program via Access Nevada or one of the third-party providers, the information will be provided to the eligibility staff member for a referral to SNAPET if appropriate based on the screening results. How does the State document that the information has been provided? The eligibility staff documents the outcome of the screening and referral within the electronic case record.
