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). Washington State monitors the performance of our providers in a number of ways: • Case notes audits – The BFET team reviews a percentage of each provider’s caseload monthly to ensure the required number and quality of case notes are provided. Both providers and program managers receive this feedback. • Enrollment numbers – Exhibit C of the BFET contract lists the provider’s expected quarterly enrollment. Program managers track enrollments and check in with providers throughout the year to make sure they are on track. If needed, a contract amendment may be implemented. • Component Closure Reasons – Tracking activity trends with completed “successfully” versus closing due to “loss of contact” or “incomplete”. • Employment data – Providers enter participant employment information in eJAS. Program managers pull reports to track this against the Exhibit C expected performance. • BFET Referral reports – The BFET Team reviews and maintains a referral system in eJAS. Data is analyzed for improvements in engagement with potential participants. CSD also tracks BFET program performance by using Unemployment Insurance Wage Data provided by ESD. This data provides participant employment and illustrates career trajectory, showing employment engagement three quarters following a participant’s exit from BFET. Although this data has a three-quarter delay, it provides accurate long-term data. 1/29/26, 10:29 AM State Plan WA FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-wafy26stateplan//index.html 19/309
