In addition, LEO-WD hosts monthly meetings with the MWAs and their subcontractors delivering FAE&T and FAE&T Plus services through the third-party reimbursement model. MDHHS and LEO have added the MDHHS logo to all public facing materials. 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. Participant data is shared between MDHHS’ eligibility system, Bridges, and LEO-WD’s One-Stop Management Information System (OSMIS). The FAE&T and FAE&T Plus providers can view and update information for participants assigned to their MWA. MDHHS E&T coordinators can view all participant information in OSMIS including case notes. Additional communication takes place via email, telephone and in person or remote meetings. 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. Client information is transferred back and forth from Bridges and OSMIS nightly. Bridges sends OSMIS the client contact information & personal characteristics; FAP grant amount, eligibility period, case status, TLFA (ABAWD) status, countable months & case review date; household workfare/work experience hours & hours for ABAWDs; MDHHS case worker information and supportive service expenditures. OSMIS sends Bridges actual hours of participation for E&T components, employment, and workfare along with supportive service expenditures related to engagement in FAE&T. If an ABAWD chooses not to participate with FAE&T or the FAE&T provider determines they qualify for an exemption, a pending deferral (exemption) request will be entered in OSMIS as the electronic tool that communicates the E&T provider determination to Bridges. The MDHHS eligibility specialist will contact the client to determine the appropriate assignment. 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. LEO-WD monitors FAE&T partners as outlined in the interagency agreement between MDHHS and LEO- WD.
