Who can be referred?

OK SNAP Works (SNAP E&T) is a voluntary program that welcomes both ABAWD and Non-ABAWD participants as long as they are screened appropriate and deemed eligible for our services.

During the initial interview, renewal, or applicable change in household, the topic of OK SNAP Works should be covered when addressing worker registration and ABAWD status. If a client does not meet work registration or ABAWD exemptions; participation in OK SNAP Works can fulfill the work requirement. A required and possible referral if screened appropriately would then be needed per our SNAP E&T state plan. If the participant does not live in a servicing area OR chooses not to participate the survey will screen them out.

NOTE: The providers are located in Oklahoma, Tulsa, Pittsburg, Muskogee, Okmulgee, and McIntosh, counties, but individuals in surrounding counties can participate if transportation doesn’t create a burden to them or the partner. Please determine if a provider will be a good option for travel for a participant prior to referring them. The participant will need to be able to get to and from a provider each day. Transportation assistance is provided but may not cover all transportation costs. Some providers also offer online options.
