PROGRAM CHANGES Summarize changes for the upcoming Federal fiscal year (FY) from the prior FY. Significant changes may include new initiatives, changes in funding or funding sources, policy changes, or significant changes to the number of partners or participants. Significant changes could include those made as a result of management evaluation findings or participation in program improvement initiatives, such as SNAP to Skills. It is not necessary to include changes made as a result of new Federal rulemaking. 1. SNAP E&T removed as WIOA optional partner in state WIOA plan; the SNAP agency continues to align with WIOA priorities and goals. 2. WVU Parkersburg will be a new third-party provider for FY26 as the second official CTC E&T partner. 3. Participant reimbursement capabilities expanded into the PATH system for E&T making issuing/receiving more types of participant reimbursement easier for staff and participants. 4. New monitoring techniques and processes were adopted and established in FY25 to better determine effectiveness of partnerships. Highlight any changes from above that the State agency is making to the E&T program based on the prior year’s performance, for instance changes made as a result of E&T outcome and participation data. 1. West Virginia will be partnering with WVU Parkersburg for FY26. This partnership will allow more students to have access to SNAP benefits they otherwise would not due to the student exemptions. 2. WV has created new data processes for more accurate reporting through the FNS-583 reporting mechanism. 1/29/26, 10:31 AM State Plan WV FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-wvfy26stateplan//index.html 6/119
