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 If the State receives a reverse referral request from an E&T provider, what steps does the State take? Customers are notified by the Provider after they receive confirmation of eligibility through the 511a process. Providers are required to review participant reimbursements with all SNAP customers at time of intake. Customers are not notified by SNAP E&T staff once reverse referral takes place as they are already connected to the provider. They are made aware that the program is part of their SNAP benefit by the provider. The provider, LISC and the State are in close communication if a customer raises a concern regarding benefits during program participation. Since the State has an ET assisting the program, issues regarding eligibility can be communicated and addressed quickly. 1/29/26, 9:35 AM State Plan RI FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-rify26stateplan//index.html 18/89
