Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Employment and Training Program (SNAP E&T)

Program Overview

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) Program assists SNAP recipients in achieving their career goals by providing participants with a broad range of services focused on their interests and needs. The program is completely voluntary and participants receive reimbursements for eligible transportation, childcare, and other expenses related to participation. Loaner laptops are also available to eligible participants. 

District residents participating in SNAP (formerly known as food stamps) that do not receive benefits through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program are eligible to participate in SNAP E&T. TANF program participants are eligible for work readiness and placement assistance through the Office of Work Opportunity (OWO) and may call (202) 698-1860 for more information on OWO services.
