This session was a brief overview of SNAP E&T history and policy basics. States have considerable flexibility in designing their SNAP E&T programs, including which participants to serve, which specific services to offer and who will provide the services. Attendees learned about the federal requirements and the flexibilities states have to design SNAP E&T programs that meet local workforce needs and the needs of SNAP participants in the state.
