SNAP Employment & Training Programs
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (PA DHS) has developed a communications toolkit available at dhs.pa.gov/work to help Pennsylvanians understand SNAP work and reporting requirements and how to meet them.
SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) services are important for Pennsylvanians who are applying for or receiving SNAP and who must meet federal work and reporting requirements because these services will help them meet the requirements.
SNAP recipients must work, volunteer, or participate in an education or training program for at least 20 hours a week (or 80 hours each month) AND report to PA DHS they are meeting this requirement.
If SNAP recipients do not meet the work and reporting requirements, they can only receive three months of SNAP benefits in a three-year period.
More Than a Job
More Than a Job is a national campaign from the United States Department of Agriculture and designed to raise awareness about SNAP E&T services and encourage enrollment among SNAP participants.
Created for the PA DHS SNAP E&T program, the More Than a Job campaign was developed through listening sessions with Pennsylvania SNAP E&T service providers, stakeholders, and participants, and is inspired by real-life stories of Pennsylvanians who bettered their lives through SNAP E&T.
Help us spread the word about More Than a Job and connect SNAP recipients to needed information and resources. View and share the More Than a Job toolkit, which includes flyers, social media posts, and more.
