Goals of SNAP E&T Give a 1-2 sentence description of SNAP Employment and Training.

Example: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) program assists SNAP recipients in achieving their career goals by providing participants with a broad range of services focused on their interests and needs. Center for Employment Opportunities ceoworks.org
Benefits of SNAP and SNAP E&T Since participating in E&T may not look very different than participating in your ESE s training without enrolling in E&T, consider explaining to the participant how E&T supports access to employment and training overall for SNAP recipients, and highlight the importance of benefits generally for individuals.

SNAP E&T Eligibility State the eligibility requirements of SNAP E&T. Example: To participate you: must receive SNAP benefits the month you participate in a component, except Retention. must not receive TANF. must be able to work.* We will contact the SNAP E&T agency to verify that you are eligible prior to enrollment. You will still be able to enroll in the ESE program even if you are not eligible for SNAP E&T.** Center for Employment Opportunities ceoworks.org
