SNAP E&T Enhancements Act of 2023
This bill strengthens SNAP employment and training programs by expanding eligibility to include more job training options, such as vocational rehabilitation and refugee employment programs. It extends the maximum participation period from 90 to 180 days and increases funding authorization from $103.9 million to $119.9 million for state employment programs. States can now cover costs to help participants overcome barriers like transportation or childcare to stay in training. The changes directly affect SNAP recipients enrolled in state-administered job training programs and the state agencies that run them.
