Coordination Coordination with the workforce development system consists of efforts to partner with workforce providers to directly serve SNAP E&T participants or to align the flow or types of services offered across programs. Describe any special State initiatives (i.e. Governor-initiated or through State legislation) that include SNAP E&T. Describe any efforts taken by the State agency to coordinate these programs, services, partners, and/or activities with the State's E&T program. The State of Wyoming has no special initiatives at this time. Describe the extent to which the State agency is carrying out SNAP E&T programs in coordination with title I programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The Department of Workforce Services program, DADS Making a Difference, enhances employment services and increases funding by co-enrolling all eligible SNAP E&T participants in WIOA Title 1. CLIMB and ESGW support participants in accessing WIOA when applicable. However CLIMB and ESGW do not access WIOA funding at this time. Is SNAP E&T included as a partner in the State's WIOA Combined Plan? Yes No Describe how the State agency is coordinating with TANF/GA programs, services, partners, and/or activities. Describe any TANF/GA special initiatives targeting specific populations and any actions taken to coordinate with these efforts. The Wyoming Department of Family Services (DFS) coordinates its SNAP E&T program with the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, known as the POWER Program, through a close partnership between program managers and a system of shared service providers. The SNAP E&T and TANF program managers work alongside one another to actively support both programs, meeting as needed to discuss program changes. They demonstrate this collaboration by jointly attending key events, such as a Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) E&T training on March 26, 2025, and the DADS Program graduation on July 31, 2025, and co-presenting at social service meetings. This partnership extends to educating providers like Climb Wyoming (CLIMB) and DADS Making a Difference (DADS) on SNAP, SNAP E&T, and TANF eligibility. At the service delivery level, both CLIMB and DADS hold contracts with Wyoming TANF, which allows their E&T participants to receive TANF services if eligible. The SNAP E&T program only reimburses these providers for eligible SNAP E&T clients and expenses. Another E&T provider, Easterseals-Goodwill (ESGW), does not hold a contract with Wyoming TANF. Describe how the State agency is coordinating its SNAP E&T program with any other Federal or State employment program (e.g. HUD, child support, re-entry, refugee services). 1/29/26, 10:32 AM State Plan WY FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-wyfy26stateplan//index.html 6/110
