Supervisors to discuss statewide initiatives and to provide technical assistance and guidance on program operations. Describe how the State agency monitors county operations. To uphold quality and compliance, NJDOL program staff conducts quarterly reviews of participant files, ensuring they comprehensively contain essential components like intake and assessment, individual employment plans, work activities, supportive services, training, case notes, and employment verification. Monthly fiscal and program monitoring further reinforces accountability, with systematic reviews of payment vouchers, dashboards, AOSOS data, and supporting documentation. Any findings are promptly shared with WDBs and third-party providers, facilitating continuous improvement and adherence to standards. Findings are shared with DHS’s DFD at DFD/DOL executive meetings. DHS's DFD has County Liaisons in each county and they are on site at the CSSA, monitoring county operations and providing technical assistance. Staff from DFD's Office of Program Operations monitors employment and training activities with various focuses, such as screening, referral, and compliance tracking. 1/29/26, 9:17 AM State Plan NJ FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-njfy26stateplan//index.html 6/116
