How often do I need to make contact with SNAP Employment & Training to remain a participant?
Contact with your employment counselor is required on a monthly basis, however, to meet the varying needs of our participants, our team would be happy to meet with you more frequently, if needed. If we do not hear from you within a 90-day period, your participation in our voluntary program will end. However, you can re-enroll in the SNAP Employment & Training Program at any time if you meet the eligibility requirements.
Do I need to show evidence of my job searching actions?
While we encourage participants who are job searching to make approximately six contacts per week, we do not require evidence of your job searching actions at this time.
I already have a job. Can I participate in the SNAP Employment & Training Program?
There are many ways to participate in the SNAP Employment & Training Program! As long as you are receiving SNAP, and are not receiving Family Assistance Program (FAP), Interim Disabled Parent (IDP), or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits, you may be eligible to participate in the SNAP Employment & Training Program.
How can I get help paying for child care while I attend a training course or while job searching?
The NH Childcare scholarship program was developed specifically to help parents who are working, looking for work, or in a training program. SNAP Employment & Training participants who require dependent care can apply for the NH Child Care Scholarship by:
- Applying online through NH EASY.
- Downloading and submitting the paper application.
Are reimbursements available for participants enrolled in SNAP E&T?
Reimbursements are available for some expenses while enrolled in SNAP E&T. Currently, New Hampshire offers reimbursement of mileage paid at $0.30 per mile, as well as reimbursements of bus passes or ride-share services such as Uber, Lyft or Taxi, while a participant is enrolled in a training program or is job searching. Proper documentation of the expense on the SNAP E&T activity log is required.
