Attachment A: Assessment of SNAP E&T Data Introductory FNS Email

Dear [Contact Name],

The Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is conducting a needs assessment to identify ways to improve the collection, reporting, and uses of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Employment and Training (E&T) data. As part of the SNAP E&T Data Needs Assessment, FNS would like to visit seven States to better understand how States collect, validate, analyze and report E&T data. Each State visit would include discussions with State E&T policy staff, as well as intermediaries or third party providers that collect E&T data to learn more about data processes within the State. The visit would also include process mapping to understand the flow of E&T data within the State, and observations of State data systems related to E&T. The primary outcome of this needs assessment will be a report of recommendations about how to improve the collection, analysis, and uses of SNAP E&T data. A project description is attached [see Attachment E of this OMB submission], which provides more details.

FNS has contracted with Mathematica to conduct this project. In consultation with the project team, FNS would like to include [STATE NAME] as one of the seven States.


Thank you for your consideration and we hope that you will participate in this very important project. If you have any questions about the project, please feel free to contact [Name] at XXX-XXX-XXXX or by email at [email address]. A member of the project team will contact you within the next month to tell you more about the project and discuss your participation.
