Initial Certification Recertification Reported change in the work registrant status of households Other Describe the process for screening for direct referral to E&T, including the staff involved. • The ET informs the client of their options for meeting the work requirement by reading the work registrant and ABAWD scripts. Participation is voluntary. The ET may inform the customer that they can sign up for E&T through the provider if they know the training they are interested in. ET can also provide the client with SNAP E&T website www.risnapet.org for review. • If the customer chooses to voluntarily participate in E&T, the ET assists client in completing the SNAP-511 including the client’s case name, individual ID, home address, email address, phone, and check box for RIW participation and hours working, if applicable, and voluntary participation in E&T. The 511 must include the name of staff completing form along with Field office location. After completion, the 511 form is sent to be scanned by the ET. A fillable 511 form is available in the document library or through E&T staff. • The ET refers the client to SNAP E&T Social worker by sending an email with the completed 511 attached to the SNAP E&T Social worker and Assistant Administrator copied. • The ET completes a case note indicating script for work registrants and ABAWDs was read, customer notified of Rights & Responsibilities for work registrants, referral to E&T made and 511 form sent to be scanned in Electronic Case File (ECF). • The E&T social worker contacts the customer by phone and assists the client in choosing a program of interest. The social caseworker then sends a direct referral to the provider through a secure email. The Assistant Administrator and LISC representative are included on the email as well. The Direct Referral includes a SNAP Employment and Training Program Participant Agreement (SNAP-511A) attached to an email to the provider and indication of the SNAP E&T program selected. The social caseworker sends the 511a to be scanned in the electronic case file and completes a case note of the interaction. When does the screening for a reverse referral request occur? Reverse referrals are initiated when the client contacts the SNAP E&T provider directly regarding the desired program or the provider identifies a participant is receiving SNAP benefits. The provider then assesses the client for the program. The provider emails the 511A to the Assistant Administrator, who forwards to the ET working with E&T. LISC is also copied on the email for tracking purposes. All emails are sent through secure links provided by DHS.
