This policy memo provides guidance on implementing subsidized wages in work-based learned activities in SNAP E&T.
This toolkit provides a framework and approach to identifying and addressing potential problems that thwart engagement in E&T services among SNAP participants.
Section 4022 of the Agricultural Act of 2014 authorized and funded the SNAP employment and training (E&T) pilots and the evaluation. The interim summary report presents short-term findings drawn from the 10 pilot-specific interim evaluation reports. The pilot-specific interim reports and issue briefs on early implementation lessons are also available.
FNS has received additional questions from state agencies and other stakeholders, and has responded with a second Question and Answer policy clarification memorandum.
Question and answer document to provide policy clarification on state agency implementation of the final rule: Employment and Training Opportunities in SNAP.
SNAP E&T transforms lives of SNAP participants by connecting them to employment. It can help participants gain
the skills, training, and work experience needed to obtain and maintain regular employment. SNAP E&T includes participant assessments, case management, education and training activities, and supportive services.
The final rule implements the changes made by section 4005 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 to the SNAP pertaining to the E&T program and aspects of the work requirement for able-bodied adults without dependents.
The SNAP E&T pilot projects give Congress, USDA, and states the opportunity to test innovative strategies and approaches that connect low-income households to good paying jobs and thereby reduce their reliance on public assistance.
The purpose of the SNAP E&T Operations Handbook is to provide states and their partners a roadmap to building a SNAP E&T program that primarily uses third-party providers for the delivery of SNAP E&T services.
This brief seeks to help states learn about the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act’s and SNAP E&T’s respective priorities, requirements, and strengths to identify common interests and complementary capabilities.
