REFERRAL TO E&T In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(2), in order to participate in SNAP E&T, the State agency must make the referral. The referral method may vary from participant to participant. What information does the State provide to E&T participants when they are referred? Select all that apply. Information about accessing E&T services Case Management Dates Contact information Other How is the referral communicated? Select all that apply. Orally Electronic Forms Physical Forms Emails Text Messages Other Explain the other methods of how the referral is communicated. Once an individual is identified as volunteering to participate in the SNAP E&T program and is found appropriate for referral, the information/assignment is entered into the Ohio Benefits system by the county agency worker. As stated above, it can be a county agency worker that does SNAP eligibility and SNAP E&T or just SNAP E&T. Due to varying county structures and processes, internal communications differ and include sending an email to the appropriate worker, sending a referral form to the SNAP E&T worker via the Enterprise Document Management System (EDMS), or exchanging information during team meetings regarding a particular participant. If the State receives a reverse referral request from an E&T provider, what steps does the State take? County agencies have procedures in place that when an individual is reverse referred to the agency from a provider, they will be screened for appropriateness for referral to SNAP E&T. CCAP The CCAP program has two types of referrals: (1) a direct referral (from the county agency to the provider), or (2) a reverse referral from the community college to the county agency (that the colleges have an MOU 1/29/26, 9:30 AM State Plan OH FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-ohfy26stateplan//index.html 29/121
