SNAP Employment & Training Program

Florida’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), often referred to as Food Stamps, requires all Able-Bodied Adults without Dependents (ABAWDs) age 18-54 and Mandatory Work Participants (MWPs) age 55-59 must participate in the SNAP Employment & Training (E&T) program.

The goal of the SNAP E&T program is to help unemployed recipients of food assistance benefits find work. CareerSource Brevard Flagler Volusia (CSBFV) oversees the SNAP E&T program for Brevard, Flagler and Volusia counties in partnership with FloridaCommerce. Learn more about SNAP Work Requirements.
