When does screening for referral to E&T occur? Select all that apply. Initial Certification Recertification Reported change in the work registrant status of households Other Explain when screening during the certification and recertification occurs. Oklahoma operates a voluntary E&T program. All SNAP work registrants are identified at certification and recertification; however, the State agency does not conduct E&T screening at those points. Instead, screening occurs only when an individual volunteers for participation through a reverse referral request. This ensures that referrals are targeted to individuals who have expressed interest in E&T, while still meeting the requirements of 7 CFR 273.7(c)(2). During the SNAP interview, eligibility workers explain that SNAP E&T is voluntary. They may provide the link to the OK SNAP Works landing page and advise the client to reach out to a provider in their area if interested in becoming a SNAP E&T participant. When does the screening for a reverse referral request occur? Screening occurs only when a referral request is received from a provider. At that point, the eligibility worker reviews the individual’s SNAP, TANF, and ABAWD status to determine whether referral to E&T is appropriate. Describe the process for screening during the reverse referral request process, including the staff involved. When a reverse referral request is approved, eligibility worker(s) notify the provider through a secure email. This ensures the provider is informed that the participant has been formally referred and may begin outreach and orientation activities. Reverse referral requests are submitted by providers to the State agency using a Qualtrics survey form. Once a request is received, a designated eligibility worker reviews the referral to: – Confirm the individual is currently receiving SNAP; – Verify the individual is not receiving TANF; and – Determine ABAWD status or applicable exemptions. 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, 9:31 AM State Plan OK FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-okfy26stateplan//index.html 25/156
