How frequently does the State agency monitor E&T providers’ program and fiscal operations? Daily Weekly Monthly Quarterly Bi-Annually Annually Other 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). E&T work codes are entered (activity codes, closure codes, completion codes) into the ACCESS system that allows DSS to track participant outcomes. DSS manages the ACCESS system and the information it contains. Information entered by DLR into SDWorks is provided to DSS quarterly. DLR also provides measurable skills gain information to DSS. The third party partner monthly tracking is provided by the partner to the State and manually uploaded to ACCESS for continued tracking through the same mechanism. In addition, DSS monitors the FNS-583 and FNS Annual Outcomes Report to monitor program outcomes. The case review process also ensures that the E&T program is being implemented according to State and Federal regulations and ensures that internal processes and policies are being followed, and that the best customer service and most appropriate employment and training opportunities are being provided.
