PROVIDER DETERMINATIONS In accordance with 7 CFR 273.7(c)(18) a State agency must ensure that E&T providers are informed of their authority and responsibility to determine if an individual is ill-suited for a particular E&T component. Describe the process used by E&T providers to communicate provider determinations to the State agency. If the WDD employment counselor determines the participant is ill suited for supervised job search, or a possible exemption is addressed during their monthly meeting, the employment counselor will notify the assigned eligibility worker via email and cc the designated E&T email address the same day it is discovered. Describe how the State agency notifies clients of a provider determination. Within 10 days from receiving notification from the employment counselor that the participant is not suited for E&T, the eligibility worker or a program specialist will notify the customer that E&T participation is no longer necessary, and a sanction will not be imposed. All actions are narrated in the case file.
