for Basic Food Employment and Training (BFET) (DSHS form 10-501), BFET colleges use to let DSHS know that if the client is open on SNAP they will be enrolled into the colleges BFET program, therefore meeting SNAP Student Eligibility rules. Eligibility workers use these forms to update clients’ student status. In addition, we are pulling reports of clients who have been enrolled in BFET without a screening/referral. State eligibility workers will review the case notes from the BFET provider to ensure referral was appropriate and document in the case notes that the referral was approved. Are participants informed about participant reimbursements before the individual is referred to E&T by eligibility staff? Yes No How are participants informed about participant reimbursements? At application and review, state eligibility workers will use a standard oral script to explain the services offered to work registrants through the BFET program including available participant reimbursements. The requirement for BFET providers to discuss the types of participant reimbursements available at their agencies will remain a standard part of the orientation process. Once enrolled the provider and participant discuss the individuals’ needs and reimbursement options available. BFET providers determine what participant reimbursements they will provide as part of the contracting process annually. 1/29/26, 10:29 AM State Plan WA FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-wafy26stateplan//index.html 24/309
