Updates and/or revisions to SNAP E&T Policy is issued by the DWDPM to EAE and E&T partners (as applicable), via bulletin and/or memorandum. Both EAE and DWDPM staff have access to the MS Application Verification of Eligibility Reporting and Information Control System (MAVERICS) and CaseMod, the case management system. Each case record is documented in MAVERICS (MAVS) on the Interactive Interview Documentation (IIDO) Screen and Case Documentation (CADM) Screen, as well as CaseMod. Eligibility Specialist, and other designees, use these platforms to exchange information and facilitate communication about a participant. Screening and determination of referral to E&T is completed during the certification process. The eligibility specialist assigns an appointment for an E&T participant to attend orientation/assessment within 10 days of case approval. Appointments including date, time, and location are documented in MAVS and issued to the individual verbally, and in writing via the F936 MS SNAP Work Requirements Notice. S2W partner information is updated by DWDPM and posted in iManage Worksite. Skills2Work partners utilize the SNAP Employment & Training (E&T) Communication Form to request information or report changes in SNAP eligibility or participation via electronic submission (encrypted email). The DWDPM field staff monitors all communications between the EAE county office staff and the Skills2Work Partner, providing assistance as needed. S2W partners have access to all participants enrolled in their program via CaseMod. Designated S2W partner navigators can make component entry, case notes and make applicable edits as deemed necessary in CaseMod. CaseMod viewing of S2W participants is restricted to those individuals who are enrolled in the specified partner’s program. All referrals must be processed within 14-days of receipt, where possible. MDHS' agreement with NSPARC will end on 12/31/25 and access to the current case management system, CaseMod, will be terminated. As a contingency, the agency will continue to use of the MAVERICS eligibility system to create and track E&T referrals, including appointments for orientation/assessment. Additionally, the system edits will allow release of the E&T $80 monthly support stipend for eligible participants. The Automation/Information Technology vendor, Promise, will standup a replacement case management system to ensure continuation of services, tracking and participant monitoring. Eligibility staff and Skills2Work partners will receive notice of the case management system's replacement and provided training on use of the new system and associated processes ahead of its implementation. Describe the State's relationships and communication with intermediaries or E&T providers. CaseMod, a web-based application, allows for E&T participant data, as well as E&T related activities to be captured and reported. MDHS staff and S2W partners have access to various parts of the module according to the user’s role. Case notes, participation records including hours, the MDHS support stipend, noncompliance notes and E&T activities, etc. are tracked within CaseMod. The SNAP E&T Communication Form is used to provide written documentation of contact between MDHS and the E&T provider when requesting or reporting information regarding a SNAP E&T participant or interested applicant(s). The form is shared electronically between the entities through encrypted email including any supporting documentation. Information about SNAP E&T participants engaged in activities beyond the scope of S2W is shared via telephone communication, encrypted email submission, the SNAP E&T ABAWD Work Requirement Referral Letter, and/or the SNAP E&T Participant Attendance Report. Communication between the MDHS staff, non-S2W site providers and S2W partners occurs as necessary or at least monthly. Describe how the State agency shares new policies, procedures, or other information with the intermediary or other E&T provider. Policy, procedures and other information is communicated to MDHS staff and applicable partners, including S2W providers, via electronic transmission of bulletins and memorandums statewide. Guidelines and trainings are provided via Zoom, Microsoft TEAMS meetings and/or in-person. In some instances, policy and procedure changes are provided to E&T providers through direct verbal communication. 1/29/26, 8:18 AM State Plan MS FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-msfy26stateplan//index.html 17/104
