How does the State communicate to the SNAP participant about their rights to receive participant reimbursements? Select all that apply. Orally Electronic Forms Physical Forms Emails Text Messages Other How is information about the referral communicated to E&T providers, as applicable? If the participant was directly referred or was reverse referred without using the preliminary screening tool, the E&T contractor receives an update on their CWDS Dashboard the day after the CAO submits the referral in eCIS indicating that they have received a new referral. The electronic referral includes the individual’s name, ABAWD/non-ABAWD status, and other key demographic information. If the participant was reverse referred and the preliminary screening tool was used, the electronic referral is automatically accepted, and this is reflected on the E&T contractor’s CWDS Dashboard by an increase in the number of cases listed as Enrolled and a corresponding decrease in the number of cases listed as Preliminary Screened. In addition, E&T contractors may click on either figure to see a real-time list of the names of individuals in each status. In addition, regardless of referral method, the CAO will send a copy of the EDP to the E&T contractor at the time of referral, thus further notifying the E&T contractor that the participant has been referred. In the case of reverse referrals, the CAO will also return the completed Reverse Referral Form to the E&T contractor at this time reflecting that the reverse referral was approved. How is information about the referral communicated within the State agency? Prior to referral, each CAO uses local procedures to communicate internally regarding requests to participate in SNAP E&T. CAOs may use system features in eCIS that allow for the creation of alerts and work items, however this is not required on a statewide basis. CAOs may also choose to communicate via email or another communication channel. Once the electronic referral has been made in eCIS, the electronic case record will include screens visible to all IMCWs which indicate that the participant has been enrolled in SNAP E&T, the name of their E&T contractor, and the number of hours they are participating. After referral, what additional steps does the E&T participant take to access the program? Select all that apply. Assessment Orientation Meet with case manager Other Is orientation mandatory?
