29 2.2 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) Child Care
A. Eligibility Criteria
Child care subsidy and services are made available to children of parents in Virginia's SNAP E&T program if: 1. The family meets the non-financial eligibility requirements in section 3.3 of this guidance; and 2. The family meets the income eligibility requirements in section 3.4 of this guidance.
B. Supporting Approved Activity
Child care is provided to support the parent’s participation in the assigned SNAP E&T component listed on the SNAP E&T Plan of Participation. A current copy of the Plan of Participation must be in the child care file to document the need for care as determined by the SNAP E&T worker. Current means that the plan covers the period of child care service delivery.
EXCEPTION: If the appropriate Plan of Participation has not been received at the time eligibility must be determined, the Child Care Worker can contact the SNAP E&T worker to confirm the need for child care services. This contact must be documented in the case narrative section of VaCMS and may serve as documentation until the appropriate form is received. The form must be received and made a part of the case record within two weeks of the telephone verification.
