Letter explaining FNS and U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration partnership to support able-bodied adults without dependents through the public workforce system as the Public Health Emergency ends.
This is an extension, without change, of a currently approved collection. USDA requires that state agencies report outcome data for the SNAP E&T programs. In order for FNS to monitor the effectiveness of E&T programs state agencies are required to report outcome data on five separate reporting measures.
This memorandum provides guidance to help states prepare to implement the SNAP time limit for able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) once the temporary and partial suspension under the Family First Coronavirus Act (FFCRA) lapses. States must properly implement the time limit for ABAWDs while ensuring program access for all eligible participants.
Question and answer document to provide policy clarification on state agency implementation of the final rule: Employment and Training Opportunities in SNAP.
The attached questions and answers provide policy clarification in response to changes made by Section 4005 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, enacted on Dec. 20, 2018, to the SNAP Employment and Training program and certain Able-bodied Adults without Dependents work policies.
