Current Narrative:
The State expects about 14,811 work registrants who do not meet the ABAWD criteria to volunteer for the E&T Program in the 13 counties. All SNAP recipients classified as “ABAWDs” who live in a county where the E&T Program is operated are automatically referred to the E&T Program and given an opportunity to participate in the Program. Any other work registrant who lives in a county where an E&T Program is operating, will be referred to the E&T Program if he or she volunteers to participate in the E&T Program. These E&T Program participants are classified as volunteers. Any household member subject to SNAP work registration may be referred to an E&T program, however, they are not subject to sanction for failure to comply with E&T Program requirements.
