Dear <State SNAP Director and/or E&T Director>,

We are looking forward to our upcoming visit to discuss the role of job search activities in your State’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training (E&T) program. During the visit, we would like to get a better understanding of the costs you incur to administer the SNAP job search and other E&T activities as part of our broader discussion about how the program works. To facilitate the discussion of costs, we would like to request that you complete the tables below before our visit. [If relevant:] We have prepopulated some information based on your State E&T plan, but please make any edits or updates needed. When we meet in person, we may ask you a few follow-up questions about the information in the tables.

We sincerely appreciate your assistance in this important effort for the Food and Nutrition Service.

Sincerely,

<Site Visit Lead>
