Webinar: What You Need to Know about SNAP Employment & Training, Changes to the 2018 Farm Bill and More
July 17, 2019 - 3:30 PM Eastern (2:30 PM Central, 1:30 PM Mountain, 12:30 PM Pacific)

The 2018 Farm Bill made a number of modifications to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment & Training (E&T).  SNAP E&T services aim to help SNAP participants gain skills, training, or work experience to increase their employability. They also can help certain adults comply with eligibility rules related to work hours. This webinar will review the framework of SNAP E&T, the substance and timing of changes outlined in the 2018 Farm Bill, and ways for advocates to work with their states to shape SNAP E&T implementation. This webinar will feature experts on SNAP E&T policy as well as staff who accessed E&T funds.
