How is childcare paid for? Direct payment to provider Reimbursement to participants Provider voucher Contract for dependent care Other If dependent care agencies have a waiting list or otherwise cap the number of enrolled dependents, how will the State agency ensure E&T participants with dependent care needs receive dependent care? The DSS Child Care Development Program currently has a waiting list; however, priority is given to SNAPET participants. How does the State agency ensure that the participant has the necessary participant reimbursements to begin participation in the E&T program? During the initial SNAP certification or recertification interview 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 during the screening process. 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. The SNAPET case managers/third-party providers conduct the DSS developed assessment during the initial appointment. The results of the assessment are utilized to determine the appropriate component for the participant, identify the necessary support services, and complete the SNAPET Employment Plan. After the initial SNAPET Employment Plan is completed, a SNAPET case manager/third-party provider will attempt to contact every two weeks to ensure the individual is engaged in the activity and receiving support services necessary to participate in the program. 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 41/77
