- TPPs which had a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) during the prior program year (reviewed every year until findings are resolved), - TPPs with a budget of less than $250,000.00 (reviewed every other year unless the TPP is subject to a CAP), - Providers with a budget of $250,000.00 or more (reviewed every year), - All SNAP E&T agreements that have personnel funded by 100% SNAP E&T funds (reviewed each year), and - All intermediary partners (reviewed every year). TDLWD/intermediary partners provide focused, proactive technical assistance and support to new TPPs during their first year of service delivery to ensure successful onboarding. TDHS begins monitoring TPPs during the second year of service delivery. The TDHS SNAP Unit also reviews invoices and supporting documentation submitted by TDLWD to ensure that only allowable costs are reimbursed and collaborates with other TDHS State Office teams on case record monitoring (using a random sampling methodology and status notice data), reviewing cases for adherence to program policies. 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). All participants served by the E&T partner network are registered in TDLWD’s VOS system where participation, completion, retention, and employment are tracked to help TDLWD and TDHS evaluate the effectiveness of services provided. Each partner will also be evaluated at the end of the second quarter to evaluate: - Have the services they provided been linked to the individual’s employment plan? (Determined through desk reviews of each partner) - Have they efficiently conducted case management for SNAP ET? (Determined through review of VOS case notes/data entry) - Progress on the provider’s submitted goals on their annual Scope of Work - Number of participants served in relation to projected numbers - Number of participants who earn a credential - Number of E&T participants who obtain employment Performance is also assessed by achievement of established annual SNAP E&T program goals. 1/29/26, 10:22 AM State Plan TN FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-tnfy26stateplan//index.html 17/108
