The criteria for participation in SNAP E&T Supervised Job Search Component is based on a comprehensive Initial Assessment conducted by the SNAP E&T ESW. If it is determined, during the Initial Assessment, that the participant has marketable job skills and adequate work experience in his/her chosen career field, the participant would then be a good candidate for Supervised Job Search. Other considerations would be whether or not the participant has the skills in the use of computers, access to the tools necessary for participating in online job searches (i.e., computers and internet services). Following the Initial Assessment and based upon the information gathered and analyzed, the Employment Service Worker and the participant will decide if Supervised Job Search is the best component activity for the participant based on participants strengths and goals. 1/29/26, 10:25 AM State Plan VA FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-vafy26stateplan//index.html 55/86
