IMPACT pays for job training at no cost to participants who currently receive SNAP or TANF benefits. A dedicated case manager works with you throughout the program — from enrollment through job placement. IMPACT covers tuition, and your case manager can connect you with additional support services.
Call 800-403-0864 and press 3 to speak with an IMPACT representative, or ask your DFR eligibility worker for a referral at your next appointment. You can also self-refer — you do not need to wait for your caseworker to bring it up.
If you receive SNAP benefits, you may qualify for funded job training plus support services like transportation assistance and childcare referrals. Indiana residents only — eligibility is determined through your local SNAP E&T provider.
