We continue to work to inform county agencies about these work programs and are optimistic that referrals and participation in Title I WIOA programs will continue to increase. Counties may utilize WIOA to provide services potentially unavailable through their SNAP E&T program or when funding is low. The counties “braid” the E&T and WIOA funded services to provide “wrap around” support to individuals. E&T funds are not used to pay for WIOA services. SNAP E&T activities are tracked and reported which better align with the outcomes reported through WIOA. These outcomes include: • The median average quarterly earnings of SNAP E&T enrolled participants and formerly SNAP E&T enrolled participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the first quarter after disenrollment from SNAP E&T; • The median average quarterly earnings of SNAP E&T enrolled participants and formerly SNAP E&T enrolled participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the third quarter after disenrollment from SNAP E&T; • The number and percentage of former SNAP E&T enrolled participants who became ineligible for SNAP within thirty days of disenrolling from SNAP E&T due to a reason other than non-compliance, and began receiving SNAP benefits again within one quarter; • The number and percentage of former SNAP E&T enrolled participants who became ineligible for SNAP within thirty days of disenrolling from SNAP E&T due to a reason other than non-compliance, and began receiving SNAP benefits again within two quarters; and • The number and percentage of formerly SNAP E&T enrolled participants who are employed with the same employer in the first and second quarters after disenrollment from SNAP E&T. Ohio continues to use labor market information (LMI) to help with Ohio's SNAP E&T program which also aids in translation between the SNAP E&T program and WIOA. Additionally, Ohio also aligns with WIOA processes through the comprehensive assessment which captures career interests, as well as having participants who have less than an associates degree complete a basic skills assessment. County agencies have additional E&T case management tools through enhanced functionality of the OMJ website (https://ohiomeansjobs.ohio.gov/) and ARIES. OMJ is a comprehensive website that helps job seekers build and post resumes for employers to search, develop career profiles and plans, search for jobs in Ohio, complete skills assessments and tutorials to improve skills, and create current and future financial budgets. County agencies may refer SNAP E&T participants to the OMJ website to participate in supervised job search and job readiness training activities that will count towards their participation requirements. County agencies are able to track participation, assess barriers and competencies through ARIES. A county agency is not required to use OMJ to meet the requirements of Supervised Job Search or Work (Job) Readiness Training; it is within the county agency’s discretion to determine when it would be appropriate. However, a county agency should ensure that any individual assigned to OMJ has an email account and access to a computer and the internet. Is SNAP E&T included as a partner in the State's WIOA Combined Plan? Yes No Describe how the State agency is coordinating with TANF/GA programs, services, partners, and/or activities.
