TO:All SNAP State Agencies

On Jan. 5, 2021, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) published the final rule Employment and Training Opportunities in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (RIN 0584-AE68). Many of the provisions in the rule implement changes made by section 4005 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (the Act) to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) pertaining to the Employment and Training (E&T) program and aspects of the work requirement for able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs).

The enclosed Questions and Answers provide information on the recently published rule. As many provisions of the rule are already implemented, this document focuses on provisions that are significantly impacted by the final rule-making.

State agencies with questions should contact their respective regional office representatives.
