MAX ALERT: U.S. Department of Agriculture Seeks Public Comments on SNAP Employment and Training Rule

May 24, 2020

From the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA):

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants have exclusive access to training and support services to help them enter or move up in the workforce. The proposed rule, Employment and Training Opportunities in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, makes a wide range of enhancements to these services to empower more SNAP participants to gain the skills, training, or work experience they need to move toward – and into – employment. Click here to read the full news release about the proposed rule.

On May 18th, USDA extended the period for accepting comments on the proposed rule. Comments on the proposed rule must be received by USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service by or before June 17, 2020.

Special thanks to the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute (GBPI)’s PROSPER Georgia for sharing information about the extended public comment opportunity for this proposed rule for SNAP E&T.
