Message 1: Mere exposure – ABAWD

Hi [NAME]! I’m [NAME] with [COUNTY NAME] County’s Employment First Program. There are rules about SNAP benefits that [will come into effect soon/are in effect] that may require you to have a job or enroll in training to keep getting your SNAP benefits. Luckily our program offers free help to find a job or get training for a job so you can follow these rules and keep your SNAP benefits.

We understand that you might need a flexible schedule that works for you, and we can support that. We can also help you with the costs of transportation, work or training supplies, and rent while you’re in the program. Lots of people like you have enrolled in our services and found well-paying jobs. We are holding a spot for you!
