participation, and employment outcomes, in the SNAP Works Management Information System (MIS). The state agency uses the Performance Outcome Measures Report (POMR) to track provider progress against projected goals. Each provider is expected to meet or exceed 40% of their contracted participation and outcome targets. If a provider consistently underperforms or fails to meet compliance standards, they may be issued a corrective action, reduce funding, or terminate the provider agreement. This multi-layered monitoring process ensures that providers remain accountable, program goals are met, and federal and state requirements are upheld. The State will launch a new initiative to strengthen accountability and evaluation of SNAP E&T services by directly collecting and analyzing key performance data such as monthly case management engagement, credential/training completion, program completion rate, and employment outcomes. Using existing systems and documentation, the State will track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for all E&T participants and activities. 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). The state agency evaluates the performance of the SNAP E&T program and evaluates the performance of the SNAP E&T providers using a combination of data tracking, performance reporting, and outcome-based measures designed to assess how well providers help SNAP participants gain skills, training, and work experience that lead to sustainable employment and meet workforce needs. A key evaluation tool is the Performance Outcome Measures Report (POMR), which tracks metrics such as: The number of unduplicated participants served; The number of participants who enter employment; Completion rates for various E&T components (e.g., training, internships, job readiness); Each provider is required to project participation and employment outcome targets in their Statement of Work. The state agency evaluates progress by comparing actual performance against these projections. Providers are expected to meet at least 40% of their projected goals, with ratings categorized as follows: Minimum (40%–60%), Optimal (61%–80%), and Exceptional (81%–100%). In addition to existing Performance Outcome Measures Reports (POMR) and other evaluation tools, the State agency will internally track a set of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to strengthen oversight of the SNAP E&T program and objectively assess provider performance over time. 1/29/26, 8:19 AM State Plan LA FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-lafy26stateplan//index.html 20/115
