efforts, and ensure participants are with the right provider for training and services. When applying for SNAP, FSD merit staff discuss employment and training opportunities with participants and send referrals to the SkillUP email address. The OWCI fiscal team handles invoicing, budgets and budget narratives, spend plans, and funding amounts in contract modifications. They work directly with each partner to receive and review back-up documentation for invoices, handle budget adjustments, and ensure proper funding sources are being used. All forms of communication are used with SkillUP providers including phone calls, emails, group and one- on-one meetings which could be in person or virtual. All SNAP eligibility information disseminated from FSD is shared with the SkillUP providers ensuring they are knowledgeable a of SNAP participant expectations, as they are often the individuals who are working directly with the participant. A SkillUP partner email distribution group is used to communication relevant information to all providers. 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. All SkillUP providers utilize the Office of Workforce Development’s (OWD) case management system, known as MoJobs, to serve participants. Providers identify potential SkillUP participants and verify the individual is eligible for services through MoJobs. The FAMIS eligibility system interfaces with MoJobs nightly and provides details of Non-ABAWDs/ABAWDs and case closures. If there are any questions regarding potential eligibility, providers contact FSD for eligibility verification. If the person is not eligible, providers will refer the participant to the closest Job Center or a Job Center of the participant’s choice. SkillUP Providers and sub-contractors work together directly but also include the state agency if assistance is needed. SkillUP providers collaborate with other SkillUP providers in their area regularly. To ensure there is no duplication of services for SNAP and TANF participants, a nightly interface is sent from the FSD system (FAMIS) to MoJobs that only contains SNAP participants who are not receiving TANF. When a SNAP case opens or closes, this information is sent electronically nightly. The system does not allow further services after a case closure, with the exception of Job Retention Services up to 90 days, if the case closed due to employment. All SkillUP providers are required to enroll participants, enter case notes, and enter the components provided in this system. This allows all providers to access information on participants that are seeking services and prevent duplication of services. When an ABAWD accesses MoJobs to complete job search (non-staff assisted) the hours spent in the system are sent via interface from MoJobs to FAMIS nightly. Other participation hours are reported via the FS-5 “SkillUP Employment or Training information” form from SkillUP provider staff to the FSD. 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. Potential work registrants are screened during the interview process through the FAMIS system by FSD eligibility merit staff. Once staff determine the individual is a work registrant, the correct code is entered which allows FAMIS to determine if the potential SNAP participant is an ABAWD, an ABAWD who meets an exemption, or a non-ABAWD. Informational and approval notices are sent to the participants out of the FAMIS system detailing the work requirements, if any, depending on whether the person is an ABAWD or non-ABAWD. On a rare occasion (may occur once during a year), a SkillUP provider may not be the correct fit for the participant upon assessment. If this occurs, an FS-5 is sent to FSD to determine if the participant meets an 1/29/26, 8:18 AM State Plan MO FY26 - Amendment 1 https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-mofy26stateplan//index.html 18/226
