MFIP:
County agencies have considerable flexibility to design a referral process for MFIP Employment Services (MFIP-ES).

Give or send the Notice of Requirement to Attend MFIP Overview (DHS-2929) (PDF) to clients required to attend the MFIP overview. The Notice of Requirement to Attend MFIP Overview (DHS-2929) (PDF) explains the requirement to attend the overview, the consequences for failure to attend, and appeal information.

Job counselors will explain the additional rights and responsibilities of participating in MFIP-ES, and will distribute the Employment Services - Responsibilities, Rights and Consent (DHS-3172) (PDF) to clients when they attend the overview.


SNAP:
Minnesota operates a voluntary Employment and Training (E&T) program. SNAP recipients can choose whether or not to seek employment and training services such as free training, supportive services, transportation assistance and other job related necessities. Encourage recipients to make use of employment and training services. The services can help participants meet work requirements in order to earn additional months of SNAP benefits and also improve their employment prospects and wage potential. The goal is to assist recipients in obtaining a livable wage, leading toward self-sufficiency.

An automatic referral from MAXIS will refer time-limited adults subject to work requirements to SNAP Employment and Training when SNAP eligibility is determined or when the recipient’s exemption from the time limit ends.

When the SNAP recipient states that he/she wishes to volunteer, add a worker comment to the MAXIS/Workforce One (WF1) referral stating the recipient is volunteering.
