SUBJECT: | Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) – Clarification of Employment and Training Outcome Reporting Requirements – Questions and Answers (Q&A) Part II – May 2017 |
TO: | All Regional Directors SNAP |
The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) has received many questions on the interim final rule implementing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training Program Monitoring, Oversight and Reporting Measures, published in the Federal Register on March 24, 2016 (81 FR 15613). FNS released one Q&A in response to those questions on July 26, 2016. Since that time, FNS has received additional questions and is issuing this second Q&A to address them. This Q&A also includes suggested templates that State agencies may use to submit their first annual report, which is due Jan. 1, 2018.
We hope the attached Q&A helps State agencies clarify the requirements of the interim final rule. If you have any further questions or concerns about this rule, please email SnapE&Treportingmeasures@fns.usda.gov.
