The state agency may issue written clarifications, procedures or other information to the DHS eligibility staff or contracted E&T partners regarding changes to countable work activities, participant reimbursements, and other regulation updates through a DHS cloud based portal (Microsoft Sharepoint) that houses written documentation, desk aids, and other resources for all operational staff to access as needed. Training is conducted for all staff, including contract staff, through the Staff Development Office. Training is conducted on program policy and procedure for both eligibility determination and work program participation culminating in a system overview for both HAWI and HANA respectively. Ongoing training and program reviews are being developed to ensure that staff have refresher training to maintain the highest level of knowledge. Describe how the State agency, intermediaries, and E&T providers share participant data and information. Include the names of any MIS systems (or other modes of communication) used. The state agency uses the HANA system to track participant information. All E&T providers are trained in system usage to capture participant information used for reporting. A future MIS system modification is being planned to capture reporting information for both the FNS 583 and Annual Report to ensure that we are able to report accurate information. If the State uses a MIS system, describe the E&T related data that is tracked and stored in those systems (e.g. referrals, noncompliance with program requirements, provider determination, etc.), and whether the system(s) interact with each other. All participation is managed within HANA as a case management system. This system includes the referral process, case management, participation tracking, and client reimbursement. This system is integrated with the HAWI system, our SNAP eligibility system, to interface whether a household continues to receive SNAP to snsure Describe the State agency’s process for monitoring E&T providers’ program and fiscal operations. Include plans for direct monitoring such as visits, as well as indirect monitoring such as reviewing program data, financial invoices, etc. The State Agency has worked into our management evaluation plan our schedule to conduct annual program reviews. Additionally, quarterly and annual fiscal reviews will be conducted to review expenditures including participant reimbursement documentation to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. Case reviews will be conducted on an annual basis to review program compliance and identify any areas requiring corrective action and will work with E&T partners to correct these issues. We have requested technical assistance on this topic to ensure that the evaluation process is in compliance with FNS requirements. 1/28/26, 11:52 AM State Plan HI FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-hify26stateplan//index.html 12/86
