Describe the process for screening for direct referral to E&T, including the staff involved. During the SNAP certification or recertification interview the eligibility staff inform the SNAP applicant about the SNAPET program including the available activities and supportive services. In addition, each SNAP applicant is screened for appropriateness for the SNAPET program and referred when applicable. Once the screening has been completed, if the individual meets all the screening criteria and volunteers to participate after the discussion of the benefits of SNAPET, the individual is referred by eligibility staff to the SNAPET staff via the established SNAPET email account. The eligibility staff documents the outcome of the screening and referral. If a request to participate in the SNAPET program is received after the SNAP certification or recertification interview process and the individual has not been referred to the SNAPET program during the current certification period, the SNAP recipient must be screened for appropriateness by an eligibility staff member using the screening and referral process mentioned above. A SNAP recipient can volunteer to participate in the SNAPET program at any time. Upon receipt of the SNAPET referral, the SNAPET staff attempt to initiate contact with the participant to complete an assessment, provide appropriate referrals, and if applicable, develop the employment plan to enroll the participant in the SNAPET program. When does the screening for a reverse referral request occur? When an individual requests to participate in SNAPET through Access Nevada, or is identified by one of our third-party providers as a potential candidate for possible enrollment in the SNAPET program. Describe the process for screening during the reverse referral request process, including the staff involved. When a reverse referral is received through Access Nevada, the designated Divisional staff member reviews the SNAP case for eligibility and ensures the SNAP recipient has been screened for appropriateness by an eligibility staff member using the screening and referral process. Once the individual has been verified as a SNAP recipient and appropriate the SNAPET staff will attempt to initiate contact with the participant to complete an assessment, provide appropriate referrals, and if applicable, develop the employment plan to enroll the participant in the SNAPET program. For individuals identified by one of our third-party providers, the secured document is updated with the information for the potential SNAPET participant and the Divisional staff member contacts the SNAPET partner to inform them that the information is now available. The SNAPET partner will then continue with their process if the individual is eligible for SNAPET and been screened and referred to SNAPET by eligibility staff. If the potential participant has not applied or is not currently eligible for SNAP, they are directed to the Access Nevada section of the Division’s website, https://accessnevada.dwss.nv.gov, or a local DSS office to submit a SNAP application. Once the potential participant notifies the partner that an application has been submitted, the partner will notify the designated Division staff member, and the staff member will monitor the application for a decision by eligibility staff. The Divisional staff will update the partner when applicable information is available. At least once a month, the designated Divisional staff member reviews the partner’s secured document to make necessary updates regarding SNAPET eligibility status for current SNAPET participants. The SNAP participant also receives information from the third-party provider regarding the participant payments they can provide to SNAPET program participants during the provider’s intake process. Are participants informed about participant reimbursements before the individual is referred to E&T by eligibility staff? Yes No How are participants informed about participant reimbursements? 1/29/26, 9:18 AM State Plan NV FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-nvfy26stateplan//index.html 20/77
