SNAP E&T 50–50 Program

A partnership that helps organizations support job seekers — with half of eligible costs reimbursed.

The SNAP Employment and Training 50–50 Program partners with local organizations to provide job training, education and support services to people who receive food benefits. All services are free to participants.

How the Program Works

The program is a cost-sharing partnership between Virginia and approved providers. Organizations deliver employment and training services, and the state reimburses 50% of allowable, non-federal costs.

This helps partners expand services while helping more Virginians build skills, gain work experience and move toward financial independence.
