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? The Voluntary Participation Agreement form is provided to the participant by the contracted provider. A part of the enrollment process for all contracted partner agencies is to provide the Voluntary Participation Agreement to all SNAP clients interested in participating in their programs. The SNAP participant must sign the agreement notifying them that by participating with the provider agency, that they are participating in the SNAP E&T program. All Voluntary Participant Agreements must be signed by the client and dated. Reverse Referrals - Clients are notified by email after the reverse referral has been received from the provider. The provider enters a reverse referral in the SCCETS queue. The state’s eligibility specialists are responsible for monitoring the reverse referral queue daily, screening the participants’ information and referring the client back to the partner agency if deemed appropriate. Direct Referrals - During the screening process if it is determined that the SNAP participant is a feasible candidate for the SNAP E&T program, the eligibility worker will notify the client verbally (scripted). A copy of the referral email will also be sent to the client. 1/29/26, 9:36 AM State Plan SC FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-scfy26stateplan//index.html 23/125
