A Provider Determination will be processed if the FAE&T activity offered by the FAE&T provider is not a good fit, within 10 days of making the determination. The FAE&T provider will enter the participants provider determination into OSMIS. This OSMIS action is the electronic tool that communicates the FAE&T provider determination to Bridges.

Within 10 days of receiving the Provider Determination from the MWA, the MDHHS eligibility specialist will contact the participant by phone to discuss documentation for deferral (exemption) or to determine if the individual is interested in another activity.
