As the E&T contractor of DCF, FloridaCommerce holds a grantee/sub-grantee agreement with each LWDB which outlines the LWDB's requirements to operate the SNAP E&T program in accordance with the federal and state laws and policy. How frequently does the State agency monitor E&T providers’ program and fiscal operations? Daily Weekly Monthly Quarterly Bi-Annually Annually Other Describe how the State agency evaluates the performance of providers in achieving the purpose of E&T (assisting members of SNAP households in gaining skills, training, work, or experience that will increase their ability to obtain regular employment and meets State or local workforce needs). In addition to the monitoring process outlined above, DCF evaluates the performance of FloridaCommerce and the LWDBs by conducting random audits of the SNAP E&T data entered in the case management information system (OSST) to ensure the integrity of the information. Program performance is also reviewed through the quarterly FNS-583 and annual reports on national and state component measures. Additionally, DCF conducts financial and programmatic reviews of FloridaCommerce, which includes a focus on ensuring that acceptable standards for fiscal accountability, program administration, procurement, and integrated service delivery are established and in practice. The REACH Office was created in the Executive Office of the Governor to provide coordination and alignment in Florida’s workforce development system in developing processes to evaluate the impact of workforce services on participants receiving benefits and welfare transition programs, to include performance reports on participant earnings. Developed by the REACH Office, the letter grades are based on LWDB performance on accountability measures and return on investment. As required by the REACH Act, the majority of the grade is based on the improvement by each local workforce development board in the long- term self-sufficiency of participants through outcome measures such as reduction in long-term public assistance and the percentage of participants whose wages were higher after program completion compared to wages before participation in a program. There are eight (8) core metrics focused on employment services, training services, business services, co-enrollment, and economic self-sufficiency. The metrics are: 1. Participants With Increased Earnings (2nd Quarter After Exit) 2. Reduction in Public Assistance (4th Quarter After Exit)* 3. Employment and Training Outcomes (WIOA Primary Indicators of Performance) 4. Participants in Work-Related Training (includes SNAP E&T participants)* 5. Continued Repeat Business 6. Year-Over-Year Business Penetration 7. Completion-to-Funding Ratio (based on funding allocation) 8.
