c. The participant cannot count the same employer more than once during a given supervised job search period unless different positions were sought; and

d. Contacts with employers may only be in the form of face-to-face interviews or by submission of applications or resumes to businesses that are hiring.

4. The SNAP E&T worker may contact any employer listed on the SNAP E&T Supervised Job Search Form to verify the contact.

d. The specific requirements of Supervised Job Search will be determined by the local agency and described in each agency’s Local Employment & Training Plan.

f. Participants who obtain full-time employment during Supervised Job Search, but lose that employment during the first 30 calendar days, are required to complete their supervised job search. For example, if a registrant assigned to Supervised Job Search was required to have 24 job contacts but had completed only 17 at the time of employment, the registrant must make 7 more contacts.

i. If, at the end of the supervised job search assignment, the participant is unemployed or employed part-time and remains registered, they must be re-assessed and assigned to an appropriate component within 30 days.

j. Participants who are employed part-time will continue active participation in SNAP E&T with their activities scheduled around their work hours.

k. The Supervised Job Search component does not qualify as a stand-alone work program for the purpose of maintaining SNAP eligibility for individuals subject to the work requirement.

For purposes of the SNAP E&T evaluation, full-time employment is defined as employment of at least 30 hours per week and part-time employment is defined as less than 30 hours per week.
