County agencies are given an appropriation of SNAP E&T funds to operate their program in their county. A county agency is required to monitor contracted providers and expenditures. How frequently does the State agency monitor E&T providers’ program and fiscal operations? Daily Weekly Monthly Quarterly Bi-Annually Annually Other Explain the frequency at which the State agency monitors E&T providers’ program and fiscal operations. Ohio is a state-supervised, county-administered program, each county agency determines the structure of their agency and their operational procedures. Each county agency is required to submit a SNAP Employment and Training Plan to the state agency describing their policies and procedures for administering a SNAP E&T program within their county. State staff review and approve all county plans to ensure compliance with SNAP E&T rules. E&T provider programs and fiscal operations are monitored frequently including monthly, quarterly and annually depending on county specified processes. Describe how the State agency evaluates the performance of providers in achieving the purpose of E&T (assisting members of SNAP households in gaining skills, training, work, or experience that will increase their ability to obtain regular employment and meets State or local workforce needs). The State agency has the number of individuals who have successfully completed a component. Data on the numbers of individuals who have successfully completed can be linked back to the assignment made. This can then be compared to how many individuals were assigned to X provider and how many successfully completed to give an overview of how many individuals may not be successful. Based on this, conversations can be had with partners (CCAP, CEO, county-specific contracts) on properly engaging and helping individuals become and maintain success in the SNAP E&T program. Since the redesign of SNAP E&T in Ohio, there is more engagement with the individuals as well as the providers, through progressive monitoring to ensure assignments are fitting and satisfactory progress is being made. 1/29/26, 9:30 AM State Plan OH FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-ohfy26stateplan//index.html 21/121
