Describe how the State agency, intermediaries, and E&T providers share participant data and information. Include the names of any MIS systems (or other modes of communication) used. Wisconsin has an integrated eligibility system, CARES Worker Web (CWW), that includes the E&T program along with SNAP, Medicaid, ChildCare and W-2. E&T workers can view FS eligibility information, including ABAWD status, case status, and all other relevant eligibility criteria, and IM workers are able to view FSET Tool information, including pin comments and participation tracking. FSET agencies communicate with each other as needed related to best practices, questions, etc. DHS regularly communicates with FSET vendors through in-person or virtual monitoring visits, our FSET policy inbox, at regular vendor meetings and as needed. FSET agencies can reach out to DHS anytime they have a question or need assistance. IM communicates with FSET agencies via CWW or email. If IM determines a member needs a referral to FSET, a referral is sent through CWW. If IM has information that needs to be shared with the FSET agency, they most often reach out via email. If an FSET agency determines they have information that is related to FS eligibility (verification of a participant exemption or income) they will provide that information to the IM agency via fax, email or through directly scanning documents into ECF. DHS also monitors third party providers; however, third party providers typically work most closely with the FSET agency. DHS does not have a database that is shared with partners outside of IM, FSET and State staff. If the State uses a MIS system, describe the E&T related data that is tracked and stored in those systems (e.g. referrals, noncompliance with program requirements, provider determination, etc.), and whether the system(s) interact with each other. IM and FSET workers enter a large amount of E&T related data into CWW. The data is then stored in IMMR. It contains the referral information, ABAWD, work registration, and exemption statuses, etc. It also contains the FSET Tool used by FSET workers to track a participant’s progress through the FSET program. It contains information on enrollment status, dates of enrollment and disenrollment, basic contact information that is pulled from the eligibility side of CWW, barriers, employment information and history, employment plans, monthly participation tracking including whether the ABAWD work requirement has been met (if applicable), PIN comments which are required any time an FSET worker interacts with an FSET participant, and any offered participant reimbursements. Describe the State agency’s process for monitoring E&T providers’ program and fiscal operations. Include plans for direct monitoring such as visits, as well as indirect monitoring such as reviewing program data, financial invoices, etc. Each year, State staff monitors and evaluates the FSET program through a variety of methods to ensure compliance with federal laws, state policy, and local program administration standards. The FSET Vendor Management staff conduct an onsite visit to all regional vendors. Following the onsite visit the vendors are notified via the Annual Review form about required action items that they must address to maintain compliance with the program, suggestions for program improvements, and best practices that we observed. Monitoring includes: • Monthly review of fiscal invoices • Monthly review of executive data dashboard • Review of regional Service Level Agreement data • Review of Quarterly & Quality Assurance reports submitted by the agency • Agency document review • Case review • Onsite or virtual agency visit and program review—staff interviews, observe orientation, enrollment, and ongoing appointments • Annual completion of a Contract Risk Assessment 1/29/26, 10:30 AM State Plan WI FY26 - Amendment 1 https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-wify26stateplan//index.html 21/230
