BEN-25-048 Exhibit J Electronic Data Interchange Form.docx

This is an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Certification form issued by the Virginia Department of Social Services in connection with the BEN-25-048 SNAP/50 Request for Proposal. The form is required for applicant agencies seeking to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) initiative, which provides employment and training services to SNAP recipients throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. The SNAP E&T program delivers evidence-based, innovative services designed to support recipients in achieving career objectives through a tailored array of services focused on career path development and wage growth. Applicant agencies must complete this certification to demonstrate eligibility for or commit to applying for access to the Virginia Department of Accounts Remittance Electronic Data Interchange system.

The certification form requires an authorized official signature and includes fields for the applicant agency name, authorized official signature, date, printed name, and title. Completion of this form is mandatory for all participating agencies, as the Virginia Department of Social Services will not issue reimbursements by check; all payments will be processed exclusively through the electronic data interchange system. This requirement ensures streamlined financial management and establishes a critical administrative prerequisite for agencies bidding on employment and training service contracts under the SNAP E&T program.
