The Benefits page for SNAP E&T cases includes an area to request transportation and dependent care reimbursements. In the WAGES system, this function was accomplished on the FSR screen. A reimbursement may be requested each month the customer is eligible to receive food assistance benefits and participates in a countable service or is employed or successfully completes Orientation. The transportation reimbursement can be requested one time per earned month for a maximum amount of $25.00.
Dependent care reimbursements can be requested for eligible dependents of the customer as follows:
For each child in the assistance group below the age of 2, a maximum of 200.00 may be requested per earned month.
For each child in the assistance group age 2 and older, a maximum of $175.00 may be requested per earned month.
