By October 2009, 94 Connecticut towns and cities had applied for federal funding under the SNAP E&T program, which reimburses 50 cents for every dollar spent on services that provide food stamp recipients with the skills and support services they need to find regular employment. Under these applications, Connecticut would receive an estimated $8.25 million in federal matching dollars.

Future application rounds are expected, so towns and cities will have more chances to apply for these funds.

Connecticut is participating in SNAP E&T because of enabling legislation adopted in 2008 by the General Assembly (Public Act 08-161). Thanks to this legislation, communities may be eligible to receive a 50-cent federal match for every dollar they spend on a wide range of eligible services, including helping food-stamp recipients secure high-school-equivalency diplomas, providing English-as-a-second-language classes, and providing child care and transportation for parents in school.

The Commission on Children, which brought the federal program to the attention of state lawmakers in 2008 and led intensive training efforts across the state to help communities apply for the first round of funding this year, is available to assist more communities apply in future rounds.
