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. The SNAP E&T analyzes weekly/monthly/quarterly data reports, reviews quarterly invoices, completes contract monitoring meetings monthly, attends local and statewide steering committee meetings, completes PME's as outlined in the above section, and offers daily technical assistance as needed. 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). ODHS requires quarterly invoicing to ensure SNAP E&T Providers are spending in accordance with their allocated FFY budget. The invoice also monitors how many unduplicated participants are served as well as which services are provided, which is validated through iMatchSkills. Oregon requires all SNAP E&T providers to use iMatchSkills, which records all components and support services provided and is a central case management system. ODHS pulls robust data reports to analyze the performance of each SNAP E&T provider. Starting October 1, 2025, SNAP E&T providers will begin to track credentials/certificates attained and measurable skill gains obtained by participants. By tracking these metrics, the SNAP E&T Team will be able to gather information based on provider and component to further evaluate the impact and efficacy of the services provided. ODHS engages with the state and local workforce boards, which allows for feedback from other community partners as to the performance of SNAP E&T programs. Oregon has the Workforce System Executive Team (WSET) that includes executive managers from Oregon Workforce Partnership (Title 1) Higher Education Coordinating Commission (Title II), the Oregon Employment Department (Title III), Vocational Rehabilitation (Title IV) and Self-Sufficiency Programs at ODHS. This team meets regularly to review how the state workforce system is operating, to coordinate efforts among the state agencies. This team has authority to make significant changes to how workforce programs operate in Oregon and to collaborate on projects. WSET uses data to inform their discussions and decisions and to steer how budgets are spent and what programs are prioritized. 1/29/26, 9:33 AM State Plan OR FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-orfy26stateplan//index.html 47/378
