Provision of Support Services to Reduce Barriers in the 10 SNAP E&T Pilots. Brief
Rowe, Gretchen
Mathematica
In 2015, the U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded pilot grants to 10 States--California, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington--to test innovative strategies for providing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T). As part of the pilots, all grantees offered support services, generally in the form of financial assistance, to offset an individual's barriers to participation and employment. These included gas cards or bus passes for transportation, books or fees associated with a pilot activity, or uniforms or tools to help with a new job. Support services were integral in reducing barriers that individuals participating in the pilots faced and helping them engage in activities. This brief highlights available support services, approaches to providing these services, and lessons learned.
