SUMMARY OF PROGRAM

Provide the vision and mission of the State E&T program. In addition, describe how your State agency's E&T program meets the purpose of E&T which is to:

Increase the ability of SNAP participants to obtain regular employment
Meet State or local workforce needs

As a new state agency, DCYF is undergoing a strategic planning process. Based on input from community and partner engagement, the work of the Vision for Policy and Equity workstream, existing division strategic plans, and originating agency strategic plans, a draft mission and vision statement have been created. These statements may change throughout the agency’s ongoing and future strategic planning process.

Draft Mission: To advance equitable outcomes for children, youth, and families through transformative, partnership-driven policies, programs, and practices.
Draft Vision: A Minnesota where all children, youth, and families are valued, treated equitably, and thriving.

Through strong partnerships, the mission of Minnesota’s SNAP E&T program is to help recipients fully utilize their SNAP benefits, gain essential skills needed for gainful employment, and successfully transition off public assistance.

DCYF manages the SNAP E&T program in close partnership with the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) via an interagency agreement. Minnesota operates an all-voluntary SNAP E&T program, exempting all work registrants, including time-limited SNAP recipients, from mandatory participation in SNAP E&T. Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs) subject to the time-limit are known in Minnesota as Time-limited SNAP Recipients (TLRs).

Minnesota offers activities designed to help SNAP recipients gain skills, training, or work experience that will increase their ability to obtain regular employment and reach self-sufficiency. Providers are encouraged to offer trainings that meet the needs of the local workforce.

Minnesota’s strong partnerships with DEED and the Minnesota Association of Workforce Boards (MAWB) allows SNAP E&T Employment Services Providers (ESPs) additional access to resources and knowledge about local workforce needs. Providers meet every other month through the State’s Provider Meeting. This meeting allows providers to share important local information and best practices and allows state staff to provide support to providers across the state. Some topic areas may include inviting a labor market analyst to present on local labor market data, inviting state CareerForce staff to provide training in job development and updating providers with news from the workforce development system, as well as ongoing policy trainings.

Is the State’s E&T program administered at the State or county level?

	State
	County

Describe how counties share information with the State agency.

Each year, counties and Tribal Nations submit an annual SNAP E&T workplan describing how SNAP E&T services will be delivered, coordination with other employment programs, and client support systems. The SNAP E&T workplan template is an online form which includes the option for application of both 100 percent funds, as well as 50 percent reimbursement funds. Plan development consists of a joint effort between the county or Tribal Nation and their chosen ESP. Counties and Tribal Nations may choose to submit their workplan as a single entity, or as a consortium of counties with a single county acting as fiscal host. Third party providers that are contracted directly with DCYF for 50 percent reimbursement also complete a similar annual partner agency workplan.

Workplans provide an estimate of the number of participants expected to be served, a list of activities and services to be delivered, and a detailed budget estimating the amount that will be spent on the program. Referrals to all applicable programs such as the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), including WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth; Job Service; rehabilitation services; English as a Second Language (ESL); Adult Basic Education (ABE); and various education programs help ensure that participants receive the necessary services to enable them to work toward self-sufficiency.

ESPs communicate with eligibility workers, when necessary, especially for time-limited SNAP recipients, and maintain the participant case record information in the State’s web-based client management system, Workforce One (WF1), for all of their E&T participants.

Counties, Tribal Nations, and third-party providers are able to submit modifications to their plans throughout the year. DCYF reviews these plans to determine if county agencies, Tribal Nations, and ESPs are carrying out their respective roles and responsibilities according to program requirements and monitors on a scheduled basis.

Describe how the State agency monitors county operations.

DCYF monitors fiscal procedures and expenditures of counties and Tribal Nations that are anticipated to receive more than $250,000 at least every other year, and all other counties and Tribal Nations at least one time every five years.

DCYF also conducts bi-annual systematic case file reviews focused on subpopulations of active SNAP E&T records across the state.

Third party providers that are contracted directly with DCYF are monitored at least annually. This includes monitoring of several counties as a number of these providers are also county partners. The level of monitoring is based on an annual risk assessment, but always includes at a minimum, a monitoring meeting and a monitoring questionnaire. Corrective actions are issued to agencies where deficiencies are identified.

PROGRAM CHANGES

Summarize changes for the upcoming Federal fiscal year (FY) from the prior FY. Significant changes may include new initiatives, changes in funding or funding sources, policy changes, or significant changes to the number of partners or participants. Significant changes could include those made as a result of management evaluation findings or participation in program improvement initiatives, such as SNAP to Skills. It is not necessary to include changes made as a result of new Federal rulemaking.

Highlight any changes from above that the State agency is making to the E&T program based on the prior year’s performance, for instance changes made as a result of E&T outcome and participation data.

CONSULTATION AND COORDINATION WITH THE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

State agencies must design the E&T program in consultation with the State workforce development board and operate the E&T program through the statewide workforce development system (7 CFR 273.7(c)(5)). The goal of this section is to explain the relationship between the State agency and other organizations it plans to consult and coordinate with for the provision of services, including organizations in the statewide workforce development system. The statewide workforce development system refers to a network of providers, which may include government and the public sector; community-based organizations and non-profits; employers and industry; occupational training providers; and post-secondary institutions, such as community colleges. Please note the State workforce development board is an entity that establishes Regional strategic plans and sets funding priorities for their area. They are distinct from State workforce agencies.

Consultation

Consultation with the workforce development system generally includes discussions to learn about services provided in the community and how each organization functions and coordinates with others in the community. State agencies can demonstrate they consulted with their State workforce development board by noting the dates of conversations, who they spoke with, what they spoke about, and how they incorporated this information into the design of their E&T program.

Did the State agency consult the State workforce development board?

	Yes
	No

Describe how the State agency consulted with the State workforce development board in designing its SNAP E&T program. Include the names, dates and outcomes of the consultation.

Coordination

Coordination with the workforce development system consists of efforts to partner with workforce providers to directly serve SNAP E&T participants or to align the flow or types of services offered across programs.

Describe any special State initiatives (i.e. Governor-initiated or through State legislation) that include SNAP E&T. Describe any efforts taken by the State agency to coordinate these programs, services, partners, and/or activities with the State's E&T program.

Since January 2024, DCYF and DEED have been engaged in the WIOA/SNAP E&T TLR Outreach project. This project has increased capacity for outreach and service to TLRs by connecting them with the full range of workforce services. Each month, DCYF supplies DEED with contact information for 500 TLRs across the state. DEED Careerforce staff conduct outreach calls using a script developed jointly by DCYF and DEED, explaining the resources and benefits available through multiple workforce programs including, but not limited to, SNAP E&T, ACP, and WIOA. DCYF and DEED have also jointly developed an evaluation plan and, beginning January 2025, pre-call texts are sent to TLRs to inform them they will be receiving calls from DEED staff with hopes this will increase the number of TLRs who accept the call.

Describe the extent to which the State agency is carrying out SNAP E&T programs in coordination with title I programs under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA).

Minnesota’s workforce development system is administered by DEED. The Governor’s Workforce Development Board (GWDB) oversees the workforce development system and is responsible for recommending the WIOA State Plan to the governor. Minnesota’s SNAP E&T team consults with, and provides feedback to, the state’s workforce system through 1) our collaborative work with DEED, 2) ongoing engagement with the Governor’s Workforce Development Board (GWDB), Minnesota Association of Workforce Boards (MAWB) and 3) the WIOA planning process.
Minnesota maintains two interagency agreements with DEED to ensure that SNAP E&T is fully integrated into new and existing state programming. A member of the DEED staff is permanently assigned to the DCYF SNAP E&T team. DEED also operates an on-ramp to partnership program that provides SNAP E&T programming bundled with state Adult Career Pathways (ACP) and the Minnesota Family Resiliency Partnership grants.
A longstanding relationship continuing into FFY 2026 is DEED’s ACP contracting with DCYF to operate a SNAP E&T 50 percent reimbursement program. Placement of SNAP E&T within ACP is a strategic decision, aligning with the GWDB’s 2021 report to the legislature and updated goals. The Office of Adult Career Pathways coordinates employment and training grants to provide adults who traditionally face multiple barriers to employment enhanced training, education, and supportive services to be successful in securing long-term family sustaining wages.
In FFY24 and 25, DCYF and DEED staff engaged in the SNAP E&T Policy Academy to Strengthen SNAP E&T Program Delivery. Results of this work include enhanced collaboration between the two agencies via monthly meetings and joint exploration of the viability of Minnesota becoming a Pledge State in FFY26.
In addition, SNAP E&T consults with the GWDB, and participates actively in the state’s WIOA planning process. DCYF staff attend monthly meetings of the MAWB as well as consulting with MAWB subcommittees on issues of mutual concern. The MAWB represents workforce boards from all 16 workforce development areas and is a key stakeholder in providing local and regional input to the GWDB and in the state’s WIOA plan.
SNAP E&T participated in the development of the state’s approved 2024-2027 WIOA plan. Priority areas of the plan include five state-wide sector partnerships focused on the five most in-demand sectors in Minnesota (known as Drive for 5) which are highly aligned to the historic federal infrastructure investments: the trades, technology, manufacturing, education, and the caring professions. This work is being grounded at the GWDB, with employer-led sector partnerships already established for each of the sectors listed above. Each of the sector partnerships under the GWDB are focused on four key outputs: addressing talent needs, identifying supporting programs, career pathway development, and defining targeted populations and barriers to employment.

Is SNAP E&T included as a partner in the State's WIOA Combined Plan?

	Yes
	No

Describe how the State agency is coordinating with TANF/GA programs, services, partners, and/or activities. Describe any TANF/GA special initiatives targeting specific populations and any actions taken to coordinate with these efforts.

Both Minnesota’s SNAP E&T program and the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), Minnesota’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, incentivize participation in activities such as work, job search, and education with benefits, including food. Providing statewide access to SNAP E&T for recipients who are able to work or progress toward work advances the strategic vision of Minnesota’s WIOA state plan: a healthy economy, where all Minnesotans have or are on a path to meaningful employment and a family-sustaining wage, and employers are able to fill jobs in demand. Staff across WIOA, TANF, and SNAP E&T collaborate regularly to align services and ensure effective coordination.
The SNAP E&T program may include Diversionary Work Program (DWP) participants who also receive SNAP benefits. DWP served individuals with children under age 18 and targets rapid placement in unsubsidized employment within a four-month window. Participants who are not successful in achieving employment in this time period may transition to the state’s TANF program – the Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP). Participants in DWP are not complying with Title IV-A TANF work requirements. Tracking of DWP and Non-TANF MFIP participants (e.g., two-parent households, zero cash benefit recipients, and those in Family Stabilization Services) is conducted via Form FNS–583. Neither of these groups are receiving TANF funds. The DWP program was repealed during Minnesota’s 2023 legislative session, with the repeal taking effect March 1, 2026.

Describe how the State agency is coordinating its SNAP E&T program with any other Federal or State employment program (e.g. HUD, child support, re-entry, refugee services).

Minnesota’s SNAP Employment & Training (E&T) program faces limited funding, but the potential for 50% federal reimbursement and alignment with state-level initiatives presents a powerful opportunity. The state strongly encourages co-enrollment with programs such as:
• Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA)
• Pathways to Prosperity (P2P)
This approach enhances service delivery, increases participant resources, and improves return on investment for SNAP E&T.
A career pathways approach to career services presents several opportunities for improving service to SNAP E&T participants. Minnesota follows the Six Key Elements of Career Pathways to help guide the state through the essential components necessary for developing a comprehensive career pathways system. These elements are carried through all of the State’s SNAP E&T resource and training materials, and are reinforced through the Provider Work Group, monitoring, and at the annual provider meeting.
The Six Key Elements are:
• Build cross-agency partnership and clarify roles
• Identify industry sectors and engage employers
• Design education and training programs
• Identify funding needs and sources
• Align policies and programs
• Measure system change and performance
Minnesota recognizes that the greatest opportunity for change lies in how job seekers are served. The shift is from simply helping individuals find their next job to empowering them to:
• Understand long-term career pathway options
• Access tools and guidance to become self-directed in pursuing those pathways
• Engage with multiple partners who collaborate without duplicating services
This approach strengthens the mission of Minnesota’s career pathways system and ensures more holistic, participant-centered support.
Minnesota will continue to expand its career pathways strategy for FFY26, with a focus on unemployed and marginally employed SNAP recipients who often lack skill-sets necessary to enter occupations which lead to self-sufficiency. Good jobs require additional education at entry levels so the state will focus on skill-building and credential attainment.
Minnesota has formally aligned its SNAP E&T program with the WIOA Combined State Plan developed collaboratively by DCYF and DEED. The alignment is designed to offer more opportunities for SNAP E&T participants to take advantage of WIOA services. Co-enrollment in WIOA is tracked in WF1 by participant; some SNAP E&T providers are also WIOA and/or State Dislocated Worker program providers. Staff continue to work with the Governor’s Workforce Development Council to reinforce SNAP E&T’s role within the broader WIOA framework. No WIOA programs are funded with SNAP E&T dollars, maintaining clear fiscal separation between federal funding streams. TANF recipients are not eligible to participate in SNAP E&T, even if served by providers who operate both programs.

CONSULTATION WITH INDIAN TRIBAL ORGANIZATIONS (ITOs)

State agencies are required to consult with Tribes about the SNAP State Plan of Operations, which includes the E&T State Plan, per 7 CFR 272.2(b) and 272.2(e)(7). The consultations must pertain to the unique needs of Tribal members. State agencies are required to document the availability of E&T programs for Tribal members living on reservations in accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(6)(xiii). The goal of this section is to describe how the State agency consulted with Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs), describe the results of the consultation, and document the availability of E&T programs for Tribal members living on reservations.

Did the State agency consult with ITOs in the State?

	Yes
	Yes, but not all ITOs
	No
	There are no ITOs in my State

List the ITOs consulted and describe the outcomes of the consultation(s). Provide specific examples of how the State agency incorporated feedback from ITOs into the design of the E&T program (e.g. unique supportive service, new component, in-demand occupation). Include the title of the person you consulted and the date.

06/13/2025	Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Tribal Nation	Tribal Nation leadership	As was the case in FFY 2024, tribal leaders indicate there continues to be three significant barriers for Tribal Nations to offer SNAP E&T in Minnesota: 1) Minnesota tribal employment programming is primarily funded through federal funds and tribal 477 funding (which has been ruled an ineligible source of SNAP E&T match). This leaves tribes with little funding on which to seek reimbursement and, in many cases, makes it impossible for tribes to find a path forward to a reimbursement-funded program, 2) The reimbursement structure of SNAP E&T poses significant fiscal and administrative hurdles that require resources to overcome. Minnesota is working to provide additional support to all providers in these areas through technical assistance, coordination workgroup support, and one-on-one consultation, 3) An additional barrier arose in FFY 2023 for Tribal Nations as SNAP income calculations in Minnesota include certain tribal payments. These payments bring many tribal members over or very close to the SNAP income limits reducing overall SNAP participation and thus access to SNAP E&T.

ORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

State agencies are required to include information on the organizational relationship between the units responsible for certification and the units operating the E&T components, including units of the statewide workforce development system, if available. For the purposes of the questions below, E&T providers are considered to include units of the statewide workforce development system. FNS is specifically interested in ensuring that the lines of communication are efficient and that, if applicable, noncompliance with mandatory E&T is reported to the certification unit within 10 working days after the noncompliance occurs, per 7 CFR 273.7(c)(4). State agencies must also include information on the relationship between the State agency and other organizations it plans to coordinate with for the provision of services.

The following questions are about how the E&T program is structured in your State agency.

Indicate which division within the SNAP State agency is responsible for the E&T program. (i.e. establishes E&T policy, contracts for E&T services, monitors providers). For example, explain if the E&T program unit is separate from the SNAP certification unit, and if there are separate E&T units at the county level.

DCYF manages the SNAP E&T program in close partnership with DEED via an interagency agreement. DCYF has a SNAP E&T team that is separate from the SNAP certification unit. The SNAP E&T team at DCYF establishes SNAP E&T policy, and both DCYF and DEED contract directly with providers for E&T services. Counties and Tribal Nations may also operate SNAP E&T programs under the supervision of DCYF. These programs may be in-house, or contracted out. Typically, even where SNAP E&T is provided through county in-house services, the employment and training unit is separate from the eligibility unit.

How does the E&T unit coordinate and communicate on an ongoing basis with the units responsible for certification policy?

At DCYF, the SNAP E&T team communicates regularly with the SNAP Policy team. Any new information or program changes that may affect one or the other are discussed prior to taking action. Workgroups, which may also include SNAP trainers, are often formed to establish new policy, or make changes to existing policy. SNAP E&T and SNAP Policy report to the same manager and leadership from both programs meet monthly. SNAP E&T and SNAP Policy have worked together to develop the State’s screening and referral process for SNAP E&T, for example, and will continue to work actively on other issues of mutual concern.

Describe the State's relationships and communication with intermediaries or E&T providers.

The State Agency communicates regularly with providers via email and virtual meetings. DCYF also holds a recurring provider meeting every other month, which allows space for collaboration, program updates, trainings and refreshers on systems and policy, and other relevant topics. DCYF also hosts an annual, two-day provider meeting at the start of each federal fiscal year.

Describe how the State agency shares new policies, procedures, or other information with the intermediary or other E&T provider.

The State Agency communicates regularly with counties, Tribal Nations, and providers. DCYF program policy staff hold a County and Tribal Updates meeting twice per month, which is open to eligibility staff, providers, and other external partners. The topics of this group consist of program updates, trainings and refreshers on systems and policy, networking, or other relevant topics. DCYF also maintains a presence at the quarterly Employment Services Network (ESNET) meetings and the monthly MAWB meetings. Emails and phone calls providing updates, program information, and technical assistance are also exchanged, and Minnesota’s SNAP E&T website is maintained.

Describe how the State agency, intermediaries, and E&T providers share participant data and information. Include the names of any MIS systems (or other modes of communication) used.

Minnesota uses the MAXIS eligibility system to send information and referrals to WF1; however, WF1 is unable to communicate back to MAXIS. As a result, providers must communicate with eligibility workers via another method, such as phone or email. Providers must relay to the County Agency or Tribal Nation information that may affect a participant’s program eligibility or benefit amount, such as employment status changes, or when a time-limited participant meets their minimum work requirement. If the County Agency, Tribal Nation, or provider become aware of circumstances that may affect a participant’s exemption status, they must inform the other of the change. The eligibility worker will then review the participant’s case. Regardless of exemption status, the participant may choose to continue to engage in SNAP E&T.

If the State uses a MIS system, describe the E&T related data that is tracked and stored in those systems (e.g. referrals, noncompliance with program requirements, provider determination, etc.), and whether the system(s) interact with each other.

SNAP E&T providers have read-only access to the MAXIS data system, which allows relevant SNAP eligibility information to be shared with the provider. Providers are able to see work registrant coding as well as program status and case notes.

SNAP E&T providers use WF1 to record all employment program data, including enrollment status in SNAP E&T as well as other employment programs, case notes, activities, electronic document storage, and support services issued. MAXIS can communicate with WF1, but WF1 cannot communicate with MAXIS.

Describe the State agency’s process for monitoring E&T providers’ program and fiscal operations. Include plans for direct monitoring such as visits, as well as indirect monitoring such as reviewing program data, financial invoices, etc.

DCYF monitors fiscal procedures and expenditures of counties and Tribal Nations that are anticipated to receive more than $250,000 at least every other year, and all other counties and Tribal Nations at least one time every five years.

DCYF also conducts bi-annual systematic case file reviews focused on subpopulations of active SNAP E&T records across the state.

Third party providers that are contracted directly with DCYF are monitored at least annually. This includes monitoring of several counties as a number of these providers are also county partners. The level of monitoring is based on an annual risk assessment, but always includes at a minimum, a monitoring meeting, and a monitoring questionnaire. Corrective actions are issued to agencies where deficiencies are identified.

How frequently does the State agency monitor E&T providers’ program and fiscal operations?

	Daily
	Weekly
	Monthly
	Quarterly
	Bi-Annually
	Annually
	Other

Describe how the State agency evaluates the performance of providers in achieving the purpose of E&T (assisting members of SNAP households in gaining skills, training, work, or experience that will increase their ability to obtain regular employment and meets State or local workforce needs).

Minnesota evaluates performance of providers in a number of ways and begins with the competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process to ensure applicants provide qualifying components and an array of support services to support participant success. Annually, the state completes a risk assessment for each provider and includes a performance evaluation with each monitoring visit. Monitoring visit performance reviews focus on the components a provider offers, participant supports provided, appropriateness of staffing levels and the provider’s progress in reaching participation levels outlined in their annual workplans. Minnesota revises the monitoring evaluation tool yearly to reflect program priorities and changes.

Minnesota will continue to uplift performance and data via two methods. 1) Every other month Provider Meetings are being re-formatted and will include statewide data conversations on the data, as needed. 2) A data visualization tool is currently in development with the assistance of Seattle Jobs Initiative (SJI) as one of the final DATA Grant deliverables. This tool will be shared with partners and allow them to regularly assess their performance and effectiveness.

SCREENING FOR WORK REGISTRATION

State agency eligibility staff must screen for federal exemptions from work registration, per 7 CFR 273.7(a).

Describe how the State agency screens applicants to determine if they are work registrants.

The eligibility worker reviews details of the persons in the SNAP unit, whether on the application, renewal forms, when a change is reported/known, or information in the case file. Eligibility workers are looking for indicators of possible work registration exemptions. Indicators include, but are not limited to; homelessness, disabilities or illnesses, ages of the people in the SNAP unit and current employment activities. Once the review has been completed, the worker contacts the client either during application interview, or another appropriate time to ask additional questions about potential work registration exemptions and any other needed details. Once someone in the household is identified as needing to follow time-limited work rules and/or general work rules, the household is contacted to attempt to give an oral explanation and mailed a copy of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program SNAP Work Rules Notice (DHS-8159) and Facts on Voluntarily Quitting Your Job If You Are on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (DHS-2707).

If the potential work registration exemption must be verified, the worker sends out a Verification Request Form (DHS-2919), allowing the client a minimum of 10 days to send back verification. If the verification request is during the processing of an initial application, the client is allowed the full application timeframe to submit verifications. Full policy can be found in the Minnesota Combined Manual sections listed below:
• 0028.06.12 – WHO IS EXEMPT FROM SNAP WORK REGISTRATION
• 0010.18.02 – MANDATORY VERIFICATIONS - SNAP
• 0028.30.06 – SANCTIONS FOR NOT MEETING SNAP WORK RULES

How does the State agency work register non-exempt individuals?

By signing the application for SNAP, the applicant registers all non-exempt individuals for work. The eligibility worker is to then make a clear notation in the MAXIS case notes for every household SNAP member age 16 and over, and what their work registration status is: exempt from all work rules, exempt from time-limited rules, or the person is a mandatory work registrant.

At what point in the certification process does the State agency provide the written explanation of the applicable work requirements? Select all that apply.

	Point of Intake
	Point of Certification
	Reported change in the work registrant status of household members

SCREENING FOR REFERRAL TO E&T

The State agency must screen each work registrant to determine if it is appropriate, based on State-specific criteria, to refer them to the E&T program per 7 CFR 273.7 (c)(2). State agencies may operate program components in which individuals elect to participate, per 7 CFR 273.7(e)(4).

List the State-specific criteria eligibility workers use to screen individuals to determine if it is appropriate to refer them to the State's SNAP E&T program.

Eligibility workers must determine which SNAP recipients must be registered for work and which are exempt from work registration, as well as determine which SNAP recipients have time-limited benefits. A recipient’s work registration exemption status must be re-determined at least annually, and must be coded on the MAXIS system. Minnesota’s SNAP E&T program serves both work registrants and non-work registrants.

As a voluntary SNAP E&T program, Minnesota is committed to serving all SNAP recipients who want to receive SNAP E&T services. Any SNAP applicant/recipient who expresses interest in employment and training services is referred to SNAP E&T. Eligibility workers screen SNAP applicants/recipients, at minimum, at certification and recertification. Minnesota uses two basic screening criteria:
1. Is anyone in the household interested in learning about education, training, or job search assistance? We offer these free services to SNAP recipients.
2. If not now, do you think anyone in your household may be interested in the future?

What information does the State provide to a SNAP recipient to explain SNAP E&T participation criteria?

How does the State document that the information has been provided?

Having a date in the SNAP E&T Referral Date field indicates that the information was provided and a referral was made. Screening is also documented in case notes.

What is the State's model for screening and referral to SNAP E&T? Select all that apply.

	Reverse Referral
	Direct Referral

When does screening for referral to E&T occur? Select all that apply.

	Initial Certification
	Recertification
	Reported change in the work registrant status of households
	Other

Describe the process for screening for direct referral to E&T, including the staff involved.

Eligibility workers inform households of resources available through the SNAP E&T program, and then screen. SNAP applicants/recipients who express interest in employment and training services (by answering “yes” to either of the two screening questions) are referred to SNAP E&T. If answering “no” to both questions, eligibility workers case note that the household had been screened, and that if anyone in the household later decides to participate, they may. This process takes place, at minimum, during the certification/recertification interview.

Having a date in the SNAP E&T Referral Date field indicates that a referral was made. The Decline SNAP E&T field initiates or declines the electronic referral from MAXIS to WF1. The system only allows this field to be completed for TLRs. A “Y” declines the referral option, while a “N” generates the referral option. If a referral is generated, the eligibility worker is able to select a provider from the list based on what is available in their area.

Those referred receive a customized paper referral. In addition to a paper referral, a MAXIS-generated referral directly to WF1 is also created for TLRs who wish to be referred.

When does the screening for a reverse referral request occur?

Screening is completed by eligibility at certification and recertification for all SNAP applicants/recipients. Since ESPs have read-only access to the MAXIS eligibility system, providers are able to view the STAT/WREG panel to ensure screening and referral had been done prior to enrollment in the SNAP E&T program. If a referral was not made, the Employment Services Provider (ESP) will request one from eligibility.

Describe the process for screening during the reverse referral request process, including the staff involved.

Are participants informed about participant reimbursements before the individual is referred to E&T by eligibility staff?

	Yes
	No

How are participants informed about participant reimbursements?

Eligibility workers inform SNAP recipients of the availability of participant reimbursements during the application interview, during a recertification, or upon referral to a SNAP E&T provider. The ESP also informs participants upon enrollment in SNAP E&T, and as part of the ongoing case management process.

REFERRAL TO E&T

In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(2), in order to participate in SNAP E&T, the State agency must make the referral. The referral method may vary from participant to participant.

What information does the State provide to E&T participants when they are referred? Select all that apply.

	Information about accessing E&T services
	Case Management
	Dates
	Contact information
	Other

How is the referral communicated? Select all that apply.

	Orally
	Electronic Forms
	Physical Forms
	Emails
	Text Messages
	Other

If the State receives a reverse referral request from an E&T provider, what steps does the State take?

Since ESPs have read-only access to the MAXIS eligibility system, providers are able to view the STAT/WREG panel to ensure screening and referral had been done prior to enrollment in the SNAP E&T program. If a referral was not made (no date in the SNAP E&T Referral Date field), the ESP must reach out to the eligibility worker to ask that a referral be completed, and a date entered.
ESPs are responsible for informing the participant of their enrollment in SNAP E&T.

How is information about the referral communicated to E&T providers, as applicable?

Upon referral, a person will be advised to contact the ESP they were referred to, or another provider on the list on the customized paper referral. Having a date in the SNAP E&T Referral Date field indicates that a referral was made. The Decline SNAP E&T field initiates or declines the electronic referral from MAXIS to WF1. The system only allows this field to be completed for TLRs. A “Y” declines the referral option, while a “N” generates the referral option. If a referral is generated through MAXIS, the eligibility worker is able to select a provider from the list based on what is available in their area.

Those referred receive a customized paper referral. In addition to a paper referral, a MAXIS-generated referral directly to WF1 is also created for TLRs.

How is information about the referral communicated within the State agency?

Screening and referral is recorded on the STAT/WREG panel in MAXIS, as well as in case notes.

After referral, what additional steps does the E&T participant take to access the program? Select all that apply.

	State Agency
	E&T Provider
	Self-Assessment
	Intermediary
	Local Office

When are participants assessed?

Employment Services Providers (ESPs) conduct an employability assessment, which can be a county, county-contracted provider, or a state-contracted provider. A participant must be assessed prior to placement in a SNAP E&T activity. An employability assessment must include an in-depth evaluation of employability skills coupled with counseling on how and where to search for employment. This may take place any time there is a change to the participant’s situation, or at the beginning or the end of an activity placement, or any other time the ESP feels necessary.

Describe the assessment. List the tools used in the assessment.

Employability assessments are holistic. The purpose of an assessment is to collect and evaluate information to identify a participant’s employment goals, barriers, and support service needs, as well as explain the expectations of the program, describe available services, and, if applicable, explain how participation in the program can help time-limited recipients earn additional months of benefits. It should be individualized and completed in an interactive face-to-face meeting with the participant when possible. The information collected from this assessment is the basis for the employment plan. The State does not require that a particular form be used for recording the results of the assessment. Providers may develop and utilize their own forms for this purpose or may record relevant information in a standard location in the case record.

Does the assessment result in the completion of an individual employment plan?

	Yes
	No

CONCILIATION PROCESS

In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(3), State agencies have the option to offer a conciliation period to noncompliant E&T participants. The conciliation period provides mandatory E&T participants with an opportunity to comply before the State agency sends a notice of adverse action. The conciliation process is not a substitute for the determination of good cause when a client fails to comply.

Does the State agency offer a conciliation process?

	Yes
	No

CASE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The State E&T program must provide case management services to all E&T participants. In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(6)(ii), State agencies are required to include specific information about the provision of case management services in the E&T State plan.

What types of E&T case management services will be offered to the participant? Select all that apply.

Describe how E&T case managers coordinate with other staff and services. Coordination can involve tracking E&T participation, sharing information that may be relevant to participation in E&T (e.g. information related to good cause or a work exemption), and referral to additional services.

QUESTION	RESPONSE FIELD
How do E&T case managers coordinate with: SNAP eligibility staff	ESPs are required to connect directly with eligibility staff whenever applicable, which includes any change to a participant’s situation that may affect SNAP eligibility (ie. job start, change of address, exemption status, etc). Minnesota considers SNAP E&T providers to be part of the public assistance umbrella and are able to share necessary information.
How do E&T case managers coordinate with: State E&T staff	Providers contracted with DCYF, DEED, or a county or Tribal Nation have direct contact with State E&T staff. ESPs communicate regularly via email with questions and reports. ESPs are included in ongoing groups and meetings as well.
How do E&T case managers coordinate with: Other E&T providers	DCYF facilitates an annual meeting and an every other month Provider Meeting connecting providers across the state. ESPs may coordinate services with other providers in their area. Providers are also able to see when a participant is enrolled in other workforce programs through WF1.
How do E&T case managers coordinate with: Community resources	State staff connect SNAP E&T providers with local SNAP Outreach providers. SNAP E&T providers are selected in part on their relationship with their local community resources. Periodic meetings are held and providers are able to connect with others. SNAP E&T program staff also attend and participate in a quarterly SNAP Coalition community meeting.

How does the State agency ensure E&T participants receive targeted case management services through an efficient administrative process, per 7 CFR 273.7(c)(6)(ii)?

Case management is a requirement of participation in SNAP E&T. Upon enrollment, participants go through an employability assessment process and develop an employment plan that aligns with their employment goals. Participants receive ongoing case management services throughout their enrollment period.

How do your offered case management services support the participant in the E&T program and provide activities and resources that help the participant achieve program goals?

Minnesota requires that all SNAP E&T participants receive case management as part of their participation in SNAP E&T. SNAP recipients are referred to SNAP E&T for case management, or this can be accomplished through a reverse-referral. ESPs are responsible for ensuring that participants receive case management services including at least one of the following: employability assessments, employment plans, barrier identification, progress monitoring, coordination with service providers, referral facilitation, and service application assistance. Providers are strongly encouraged to build and maintain relationships with a wide range of employment and social service providers in their area, and to offer referrals to those organizations if the need cannot be met from within. The ESP is able to provide case management to assist participants in connecting to those referrals and managing their path to employment.

Minnesota’s case management system, WF1, allows SNAP E&T providers to view necessary record details for participants who are enrolled at other locations and in other programs, avoiding duplicative services. ESPs communicate via email, phone, or Status Update form when needed. ESPs are responsible for a minimum of one monthly contact with each participant, and documentation of this must be recorded in case notes.

How does the SNAP State agency ensure the case management services offered do not act as an impediment to successful participation in E&T?

Minnesota’s case management system, WF1, allows SNAP E&T providers to view necessary record details for participants who are enrolled at other locations and in other programs, avoiding duplicative services. ESPs communicate via email, phone, or Status Update form when needed.

GOOD CAUSE

In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(i), the State agency is responsible for determining good cause when a SNAP recipient fails or refuses to comply with SNAP work requirements. Since it is not possible for FNS to enumerate each individual situation that should or should not be considered good cause, the State agency must take into account the facts and circumstances, including information submitted by the employer and by the household member involved, in determining whether or not good cause exists.

What is the State agency's criteria for good cause?

Good cause reasons include circumstances beyond the client's control, including, but not limited to, client illness or injury, illness or injury of another unit member that requires the client's presence, a household emergency, employer discrimination or work demands or conditions that make working unreasonable, such as working without being paid on schedule. There are many more situations that may also qualify for good cause.

Describe the State agency's process to determine good cause if there is not an appropriate and available opening for an E&T participant.

Minnesota is a voluntary state.

PROVIDER DETERMINATIONS

In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(18) a State agency must ensure that E&T providers are informed of their authority and responsibility to determine if an individual is ill-suited for a particular E&T component.

Describe the process used by E&T providers to communicate provider determinations to the State agency.

A provider determination must be issued when both of the following are true:
• An individual receiving SNAP wants to participate in a component of the SNAP E&T program; and
• The ESP is unable to serve them with employment and training services because it is determined that they would be unable to be successful in their E&T program.

The determination is most likely to be issued after assessment, but may be issued at any time after referral to SNAP E&T.
The provider must securely send a Provider Determination Form (DHS-8205) to the county agency or Tribal Nation within 10 days of making a determination.

Describe how the State agency notifies clients of a provider determination.

The county or tribal eligibility staff is required to notify the client of a provider determination within 10 days of receiving the determination from the ESP. This may be via phone call or mailing. ESPs are also encouraged to notify the client of a provider determination when they issue one.

What is the timeframe for contacting clients after receiving a provider determination?

	1-3 Days
	4-7 Days
	8-10 Days

DISQUALIFICATION POLICY FOR GENERAL WORK REQUIREMENTS

This section applies to the General Work Requirements, not just to E&T, and should be completed by all States, regardless of whether they operate a mandatory or voluntary E&T program.

All work registrants are subject to SNAP work requirements at 7 CFR 273.7(a). A nonexempt individual who refuses or fails to comply without good cause, as defined at 7 CFR 273.7(2), (3), and (4), with SNAP work requirements will be disqualified and subject to State disqualification periods. Noncompliance with SNAP work requirements includes voluntarily quitting a job or reducing work hours below 30 hours a month, and failing to comply with SNAP E&T (if assigned by the State agency).

What period before application does the State agency use to determine voluntary quit and/or reduction in work effort without good cause per 7 CFR 273.7(j)(1)?

	30 Days
	60 Days

For all occurrences of non-compliance discussed below, must the individual also comply to receive benefits again?

	Yes
	No

For the first occurrence of non-compliance per 7 CFR 273.7(f)(2), the individual will be disqualified until the later of:

	One month or until the individual complies, as determined by the State agency
	Up to 3 months

For the second occurrence of non-compliance per 7 CFR 273.7(f)(2)(ii), the individual will be disqualified until the later of:

	Three months or until the individual complies, as determined by the State agency
	Up to 6 months

For the third or subsequent occurrence per 7 CFR 273.7(f)(2)(iii), the individual will be disqualified until the later of:

	A date determined by the State agency
	Permanently

The State agency will disqualify the:

	Individual
	The entire household if the head of household is an ineligible individual

PARTICIPANT REIMBURSEMENTS

In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(d)(4), State agencies are required to pay for or reimburse participants for expenses that are reasonable, necessary, and directly related to participation in E&T. State agencies may impose a maximum limit for reimbursement payments. If a State agency serves mandatory E&T participants, it must meet all costs associated with mandatory participation.

PARTICIPANT REIMBURSEMENT DETAILS

Complete the table below with information on each participant reimbursement offered/permitted by the State agency (do not indicate information for each provider). A description of each category is included below. If the participant reimbursement is provided by multiple entities (such as State agencies and E&T providers) or has multiple methods of payment, a separate entry in the table must be completed.

Allowable Participant Reimbursements. Every State agency must include child care and transportation in this table, as well as other major categories of reimbursements (examples of categories include, but are not limited to: tools, test fees, books, uniforms, license fees, electronic devices, etc.). Mandatory States must meet all costs associated with participating in an E&T program, or else they must exempt individuals from E&T.
Participant Reimbursement Caps (optional). States have the option to establish maximum levels (caps) for reimbursements available to individuals. Indicate any caps on the amount the State agency will provide for the participant reimbursement.
Who provides the participant reimbursements? Indicate if the participant reimbursement is provided by the State agency, a provider, or an intermediary. The State agency remains ultimately responsible for ensuring individuals receive participant reimbursements, even if it has contracted with another entity to provide them.
What is the payment method for Participant Reimbursements? Indicate the mechanism used to disburse payment to E&T participants.
Method of disbursement. Indicate if the participant receives the participant reimbursement in advance or as a reimbursement. Also indicate if the amount of the participant reimbursement is an estimated amount or the actual amount.

Allowable Participant Reimbursements	Participant Reimbursement Caps (Optional)	Who Provides the Participant Reimbursement?	What is the payment method for Participant Reimbursements?	Method of Disbursement
Dependent care	Participant must attempt to seek childcare funding through CCAP first. If reimbursing long-term dependent care costs, rate must not exceed that established by CCAP	SNAP E&T Provider	Direct payment to vendor(s)	Advance; actual amount
Housing	Up to two months per program year	SNAP E&T Provider	Direct payment to vendor(s)	Advance; actual amount

Tools, books, uniforms, etc		SNAP E&T Provider	Direct payment to participant	Advance; actual amount
Transportation		SNAP E&T Provider	Direct payment to participant	Advance; actual amount

Is dependent care provided? Select yes even if E&T funds are not being used.

	Yes
	No

Provide a URL link or describe in a written response: the payment rates for childcare reimbursements, established in accordance with the Child Care and Development Block Grant (CCDBG) based on local market rate surveys.

Minnesota offers child care assistance programs to help low income families pay for child care so that parents may pursue employment or education leading to economic self-sufficiency. The Minnesota basic sliding fee childcare program is funded through an allocation to the county. This funding is not eligible for SNAP E&T reimbursement in Minnesota. Some Minnesota providers offer childcare funding to individuals who are unable to access sliding fee childcare through their county or whose childcare needs exceed the capacity of the sliding fee childcare program. When childcare reimbursement is requested, providers must document that basic sliding fee childcare was either unavailable or unable to meet the participant’s needs. All costs charged to SNAP E&T must be reasonable and necessary. See Guidance on Costs and Reimbursements.

How is childcare paid for?

	Direct payment to provider
	Reimbursement to participants
	Provider voucher
	Contract for dependent care
	Other

If dependent care agencies have a waiting list or otherwise cap the number of enrolled dependents, how will the State agency ensure E&T participants with dependent care needs receive dependent care?

How does the State agency ensure that the participant has the necessary participant reimbursements to begin participation in the E&T program?

Minnesota operates an all-voluntary SNAP E&T program. ESPs offer what they can to support the participant.

WORK REGISTRANT DATA

The SNAP general work requirements are described at 7 CFR 273.7(a). Individuals who do not meet a federal exemption from the general work requirements, as listed in 7 CFR 273.7(b)(1), are subject to the general work requirement and must register for work. In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(10), the State agency must submit to FNS the number of work registrants in the State as of October 1st. This information is submitted on the first quarter E&T Program Activity Report (FNS-583).

Describe the process the State agency uses to count all work registrants in the State as of the first day of the new fiscal year (October 1).

The query for Line 1 has two parts to it: MFIP food and SNAP. For MFIP food, any work registrant receiving MFIP food who is active in October and was active in September of that same year is selected; this indicates that work registrants are carried over from the previous year. Similarly, work registrants receiving SNAP who were active in October of that year and active in the prior month to September are also queried. Work registrants from both queries are added up and reported to FNS.

Line 1: Count of all work registrants whose case was active on September 30th at midnight in the previous fiscal year. This number provides an accurate count of those on board on October 1st. It does not include new applications processed on this date. The select statement consists of “distinct personid”.

Provide information about how work registrant data is pulled from the eligibility system, including the date the data is pulled.

Line 2: New distinct (unduplicated) work registrants are pulled each month beginning with October. The query has a subquery that retrieves the earliest month in which each personID shows up in the MFIP WREG/SNAP E&T table after the month of August of the previous year.

How are work registrants identified in the eligibility system?

Work registrant data is gathered from the DCYF Data Warehouse using Structured Query Language (SQL) based on guidance provided by FNS regional and national staff. County eligibility workers use work registration codes when approving SNAP eligibility in MAXIS on the STAT/WREG panel, and ESPs use WF1 to record participant level data and activities. The MAXIS codes meet federal exemption code definitions in 7 CFR 273.7.

Describe measures taken to prevent duplicate counting of work registrants within the federal fiscal year.

Lines 1, 2, 7, and 8 are unduplicated.

Line 1: The query is structured to select distinct individuals with a work registration code who are active on the first month of the FFY who were also on SNAP/MFIP the month prior (September). This query is run for both MFIP food and SNAP separately and added up. A person can only be on MFIP food or SNAP, they cannot be receiving both. These work registrants are counted once, at the beginning of the new federal fiscal year.

Line 2: This query pulls the new work registrants from SNAP and MFIP food for each month (unduplicated each month) by selecting distinct participants for a given month.

Line 7: The query pulls distinct participants at a given component based on whether they had an ABAWD status at the beginning of their participation. A person cannot be in both ABAWD and non-ABAWD categories. The query looks into the 12 months of the fiscal year and counts distinct participants in each component. A person can be in more than one component.

Line 8: This line follows the same logic by selecting distinct participants ABAWDS and non-ABAWDS in approved E&T activities based on their status at the beginning of their participation. Each participant is counted once.

NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: SUPERVISED JOB SEARCH

Provide a summary of the State guidelines implementing supervised job search.

A component in which the participant is primarily engaged in actively applying for work, building connections with prospective employers, and/or attending hiring events and other networking opportunities. Supervised job search activities must have a direct link to increasing the employment opportunities of individuals engaged in the activity. Participants may conduct these activities at any location appropriate to the activity, including, but not limited to their home, job sites, public facilities, or their SNAP E&T provider locations. Providers must attempt to make contact with the participant at least once per week, and must successfully make contact at least once per month in order to continue participation in this activity.

Providers must establish, in consultation with the participant, individual goals for the number of applications or contacts made each month. This standard should take into account the participant’s location and barriers. Providers must demonstrate through case notes that they have engaged in regular meaningful communication with the participant about their job search.

SJS focuses on searching for and applying for jobs with direct supervision, and is not intended to be a long-term activity.

Describe the direct path to employment.

As a voluntary program, individuals are only referred to SJS based on their own motivations and goals. Participants participate in SJS when they believe they have the skills and interest to move directly to employment.

How SJS activities will have a direct link to increasing the employment opportunities of individuals varies by region. For example, in one area, participants interact face-to-face with employers at on-site hiring events, as well as receive direct referrals to employers that have a relationship with CareerForce. In another area, SJS is tailored to the individual’s needs and interests and guided by planning documents and person-centered conversations. The goals, activities, and resources identified that support the participant’s short- and long-term career interests will be informed by practical considerations and current market information including career pathways and related credentials, wages, and salaries; and consider high-demand occupations. Minnesota monitors providers annually, which includes a thorough review of cases to ensure program rules are followed.

NON-EDUCATION, NON-WORK COMPONENT: WORKFARE

Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services.

A component in which SNAP recipients perform work in a private or public non-profit agency as a condition of eligibility. In lieu of wages, workfare participants receive compensation in the form of their household’s monthly benefit allotment. The primary goal of workfare is to improve employability and encourage individuals to move into regular employment while returning something of value to the community. Workfare assignments cannot replace or prevent the employment of regular employees and assignments must provide the same benefits and working conditions provided to regular employees performing comparable work for comparable hours. The maximum number of hours of work each month is determined by dividing the household’s SNAP benefit allotment by the federal or state minimum wage, whichever is higher (in Minnesota, the higher state minimum wage of large employers must be used). The county agency or Employment Services Provider (ESP) must round the number of hours arrived at through this computation down to the next full hour. For time-limited participants, the work requirement is considered to be met when the maximum number of hours are obtained. This component requires the provider to enter into a worksite agreement which specifies days/hours of work and responsibilities of the participant and supervisor.

Indicate the Target Population this component will serve. Select all that apply.

WORK EXPERIENCE COMPONENT: ON-THE-JOB TRAINING

Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services.

A work placement made through a contract with an employer or registered apprenticeship program sponsor in the public, private non-profit, or private sector. Through the on-the-job training (OJT) contract, occupational training is provided for the participant in exchange for the reimbursement, typically up to 50 percent of the wage rate of the participant, for the extraordinary costs of providing the training and supervision related to the training. An OJT contract must be limited to the period of time required for a participant to become proficient in the occupation for which the training is being provided. In determining the appropriate length of the contract, consideration should be given to the skill requirements of the occupation, the academic and occupational skill level of the participant, prior work experience, and the participant's individual employment plan. Wages are reimbursed at a set percentage by the organization to the employer for the length of the contract. OJT also carries the expectation that the participant will be hired by the employer in a permanent position when the contract ends.

WORK EXPERIENCE COMPONENT: TRANSITIONAL JOBS

Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services.

A transitional job is one that provides a work experience for a limited period of time, that is wage-paid and subsidized, and is in the public, private, or non-profit sectors for those individuals with barriers to employment who are chronically unemployed or have inconsistent work history. These jobs are designed to enable an individual to establish a work history, demonstrate work success in an employee-employer relationship, and develop the skills that lead to unsubsidized employment.

Is this component subsidized by SNAP E&T?

	Subsidized
	Unsubsidized
	Both subsidized and unsubsidized

WORK EXPERIENCE COMPONENT: WORK ACTIVITY

Description of the component. Provide a summary of the activities and services.

A component that provides an individual with an opportunity to acquire the general skills, knowledge, and work habits necessary to obtain employment in exchange for SNAP benefits. The purpose of work activity is to improve the employability of those who cannot find unsubsidized full time employment. A work activity can be arranged within the private for-profit sector, the non-profit sector, or the public sector whereas workfare must take place at a public or private non-profit institution. Work activity is a training program and should have, for example, things like a curriculum, clearly articulated outcome goals, intentional day-to-day activities that are designed to improve someone’s skills and employability, and a planned start date and end date.

Households that include work activity participants may not work more hours monthly than the total obtained by dividing the household’s monthly SNAP allotment by the higher of the applicable Federal or State minimum wage (in Minnesota, the higher state minimum wage of large employers must be used). The county agency or ESP must round the number of hours arrived at through this computation down to the next full hour. Unlike workfare, participating in this component for the maximum amount of hours may not meet the work requirement for time-limited participants; these individuals may need to do additional activities in order to meet the 80 hour per month requirement.

Indicate the Target Population this component will serve. Select all that apply.

	ABAWDs
	Homeless
	Returning citizens (aka: ex-offenders)
	Single parents
	Students
	Those that reside in rural areas

Low level of basic workplace skills or very poor work history but a high degree of motivation to work. The individual’s assessment results will also be used to determine appropriateness for this component.

Interpreting students take on work experiences and earn incentives from KOM for every 10 hours of volunteer interpreting they complete with us. While they are doing this, we are doing job search with them as well. For CDL students, they do 40-hour CDL ride-alongs at different companies to gain exposure to day to day of the job. They are typically completing these while they are waiting for a spot at DCTC to open up so they can earn their Class A license. After they get class A we focus on job search with them and use their ride-along experience to help decide what type of driving they do/don't want to do.

Transitional employment allows participants to gain work-experience and basic skills while also providing an entry point into an industry or company where their previous skills/experience would be insufficient without the support. Transitional jobs do not always immediately lead to permanent placement with the work-site, but CMJTS provides ongoing case management, support services and barrier removal. At the completion of the Transitional Job, regular job search and placement services continue - with the added skill increase supporting the participant's career search.

FUNDING SOURCES

Fields for the Funding Sources section will populate from other sections, such as the Operating Budget section or annual allocations decided by FNS OET.

The system will provide the States 100 percent allocation as well as the target for the total 50/50 funds, as provided in the annual E&T final allocation memo.

State agencies may enter funds into the field "100 Percent Federal Grant - Additional Funds" for planning purposes. This field must be blank before initial submission. State agencies that wish to request additional 100% funds can do so via the Funding Requests tab. If the request is approved, State agencies will see the approved amount populated in this field, and a new State Plan Amendment must be submitted.

The system utilizes a formula that distributes administrative costs to the various funding sources (i.e. 100 percent Federal, 50 percent Federal Admin and 50 percent Non-Federal Admin.) The formula also establishes a funding hierarchy for the use of all available 100 percent Federal funds. This funding hierarchy will assign the planned administrative expenses against the regular 100 Federal grant first, then depending upon availability, against additional 100 percent funds, able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWD) pledge funds, if applicable. Any planned costs over the available 100 percent funds will be evenly distributed against the 50 percent Admin funds.

The planned expenses shown for the field "100% Federal Grant" will be inclusive of the formula allocation, as well as any additional Federal funds approved. Fields in the column “Distribution of Planned Expenses” are populated from the planned expenses table. States can use this table to extrapolate figures, but cannot submit the form until 100% of Federal additional funds under the "Allocation or Target" column has been removed.

PLEDGE TO SERVE ALL ABAWDS

The Act authorizes FNS to allocate $20 million annually to State agencies that commit, or pledge, to ensuring the availability of education, training, or workfare opportunities that permit able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWDs) to remain eligible beyond the 3-month time limit.

To be eligible for these additional funds (pledge funds), State agencies must pledge to offer and provide an opportunity in a work program that meets the participation requirements of 7 CFR 273.24 to every applicant and recipient who is in the last month of the 3-month time limit and not otherwise exempt. Individuals are exempt from the time limit if they meet an exception under 7 CFR 273.24(c), reside in an area covered by a waiver in accordance with 7 CFR 273.24(f), or who are exempted by the State under 7 CFR 273.24(g).

Is the State agency pledging to offer qualifying activities to all ABAWDs subject to the criteria under 7 CFR 273.7(d)(3)(i)?

	Yes
	No

Pledge Assurances

Check the boxes to indicate that the State agency understands and agrees to comply with the following provisions, per 7 CFR 273.7(d)(3).

	The State agency will use the pledge funds to defray the costs of offering every ABAWD who meets the criteria in 7 CFR 273.7(d)(3)(i) a slot in a qualifying component.
	The cost of serving ABAWDs is not an acceptable reason for failing to live up to the pledge. The State agency will make a slot available and the ABAWD must be served even if the State agency exhausts all of its 100 percent Federal funds and must use State funds.
	While a participating State agency may use a portion of the additional funding to provide E&T services to ABAWDs who do not meet the criteria under 7 CFR 273.7(d)(3)(i), the State agency guarantees that ABAWDs who do meet the criteria are provided with opportunities by the State agency each month to remain eligible beyond the 3-month time limit.
	The State agency will notify FNS immediately if it realizes that it cannot obligate or expend its entire share of the ABAWD allocated funds, so that FNS may make those funds available to other participating pledge States within the fiscal year.
	The State agency will be ready on October 1st to offer and provide qualifying activities and services each month an ABAWD is subject to losing their benefits beyond the 3-month time limit.

Where will the State agency offer qualifying activities?

	Statewide
	Limited areas of the State

How does the State agency identify ABAWDs in the State eligibility system?

The state agency identifies ABAWDs in the MAXIS State eligibility system using the WREG panel. The state agency codes the WregFSWorkRegStatus field to a code of 30, labeled Mandatory FSET Participant.

How does the State agency identify ABAWDs who meet the criteria under 7 CFR 273.7(d)(3)(i)?

Minnesota county eligibility workers use the tracking panel to track ABAWDs using a CountedCode of M or X, and a TrackingTypeCode of ABAWD. The state agency first checks the current month for an eligible member that meets those requirements. Then the state agency checks previous months within the fixed clock window. If there was one other eligible month prior to the current counted month, then the ABAWD is considered at-risk. When the timeframe for counting ABAWD months is reset, the first month will contain no at-risk ABAWDs.

When is the offer of qualifying activities made?

The offer of qualifying activities will be made to all TLR’s during their second counted month to ensure adequate time for TLRs to connect with a provider and engage in a qualifying component.

How is the offer of qualifying activities made? Include the process the State agency uses to ensure that ABAWDs receive an offer of a qualifying component for every month they are in jeopardy of losing benefits beyond the 3-month time limit.

The offer of qualifying activities will be made via text for all at-risk TLRs unless they have opted out of texting. If they have opted out, a letter will be mailed to the TLR. Based on data from 1/25 to 7/25, the average percentage and number of at-risk TLRs that have opted out of receiving texts is 3.4% which is approximately 53 individuals a month. This will be tracked monthly on a spreadsheet and whether a text or letter was sent will be indicated for each at-risk TLR. The text TLRs receive will provide a link to the TLR letter online as well as a link to the SNAP E&T Provider Map.

The next set of questions is intended to establish the State agency's overall capacity and ability to serve all ABAWDs subject to the criteria under 7 CFR 273.7(d)(3)(i) during the fiscal year through the services available in SNAP E&T as well as through other qualifying activities available through other Federal or State employment and training programs. In addition to SNAP E&T components, qualifying activities for ABAWDs include programs that operate outside of SNAP E&T. Such as Optional Workfare programs, WIOA title I programs, programs under Section 236 of the Trade Act of 1974, Veterans employment and training programs offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Labor, and Workforce Partnerships in accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(n).

What services and activities will be provided through SNAP E&T to ABAWDs that the State plans to serve?

	Apprenticeship
	Basic / Foundational Skills Instruction
	Career / Technical Education Programs or other Vocational Training
	English Language Acquisition
	Integrated Education and Training / Bridge Programs
	Internship
	Job Retention
	Job Search Training
	On-the-job Training
	Self-Employment Training
	Supervised Job Search
	Transitional Jobs
	Work Activity
	Work Readiness Training
	Workfare

What services and activities will be provided outside of SNAP E&T? List the services, activities, and the operating program, such as title 1 of WIOA.

WIOA Youth activities include: Classroom Training, Internship, Entrepreneurial Training, Secondary School Classes, Non-Credentialed Training, Occupational Skills Training, Basic Skills Training, Work Readiness Skills Training, OJT - Public or Private; Pre -Apprenticeship
WIOA Adult activities include: Entrepreneurial Training, Classroom Training, GED Training, Non-credentialed Training, Customized Training, ESL Training, OJT - Public or Private; Apprenticeship
Dislocated Worker activities include: Entrepreneurial Training, Classroom Training, GED Training, Non-credentialed Training, Customized Training, ESL Training, OJT - Public or Private; Apprenticeship

To pledge, State agencies must have capacity to offer a qualifying activity to every ABAWD for every month they are in jeopardy of losing benefits beyond the 3-month time limit. What is the State agency's plan if more ABAWDs than expected choose to take advantage of the offer of a qualifying activity? For instance, how will the State agency ensure the availability of more slots? What steps has the State agency taken to guarantee a slot through agreements or other arrangements with providers?

Currently, the engagement rate of TLRs is just under 5%, this is the case whether a TLR was contacted by DEED staff via a text and follow up call or the individual only received SNAP E&T information from their eligibility worker at SNAP enrollment. The states' goal is to increase this to 10% engagement with the Pledge State funding. During this first pilot year, state staff will continue to build relationships and explore additional opportunities to partner with service providers across the state to ensure all TLRs interested in meeting work requirements have the opportunity to do so.

Estimated Cost to Fulfill Pledge

QUESTION	RESPONSE FIELD
What is the projected total cost to serve all ABAWDs in your State subject to the criteria under 7 CFR 273.7(d)(3)(i)?	$3,442,800.00
Of the total cost above, what is the total projected administrative costs of E&T?	$516,420.00
Of the total cost above, what is the total projected costs for participant reimbursements in E&T?	$432,250.00

Explain the methodology used to determine the total cost to fulfill the pledge.

The anticipated costs were determined by taking the total costs of program and admin for the entire SNAP E&T program for FFY26 and dividing it by the total number of anticipated SNAP E&T participants. The per participant estimated cost ($3,624) was then multiplied by the number of anticipated TLRs the state will serve in FFY26 (950). The resulting total is $3,442,800. The same calculation was utilized for support services. The estimate per participant for support services is $455 and that multiplied by the anticipate number of TLRs served (950) is a total of $432,250.
