Universal Citation: 10 ME Code Rules ยง 144-609-5

Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024

SNAP E&T completion and discharge dates are recorded by SNAP E&T Providers and reported to the Department for purposes of reimbursement, benefit status determination, and for performance measurement.

I. COMPLETION

A participant has completed participation in SNAP E&T when:

A. the participant obtains suitable full-time employment (at least 30 hours per week or when weekly earnings exceed the Federal minimum wage multiplied by 30);

B. the participant completes the component or indicates that SNAP E&T services are no longer needed;

C. the SNAP E&T Provider determines that the participant cannot meet further goals towards employment from SNAP E&T activity as determined in assessment; or

D. the SNAP E&T Provider discharges the participant.

II. DISCHARGE

SNAP E&T Providers cannot be reimbursed for services provided to participants who lose SNAP eligibility during a training program, and may discharge them from SNAP E&T when they lose their SNAP eligibility. SNAP E&T Providers may continue to serve participants enrolled in a Job Retention Component who lose financial eligibility, since federal guidelines in 7 C.F.R. § 273.7(e)(2) allow continued reimbursement for participants enrolled in a Job Retention Component, meeting the Department's time limits for Job Retention.
