The Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended, requires that USDA assess the effectiveness of state SNAP E&T programs as part of the department’s program monitoring and oversight activities. FNS is adopting a broad consideration of what makes an effective SNAP E&T program, grounded in ensuring E&T programs are designed to truly meet the employment and training needs of all SNAP participants, meaningfully address barriers to employment. During this session, FNS solicited input and feedback from state SNAP agencies about what makes an effective SNAP E&T program, what elements should be included in a framework for determining an effective program and any additional considerations that should inform this effort.
