III. MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (MIS) State Agency: West Virginia for FY: 25. This section, Management Information System (MIS) involves the planning, documentation, security/ confidentiality, and production of the necessary reports relating to program operations through the utilization of automated data processing services at the State and local level. During disasters, emergencies, public health emergencies, or a supply chain disruption, the State agency may request to implement existing and allowable regulatory flexibilities or waivers to support the continuation of Program benefits and services. Waivers granted under Access to Baby Formula Act of 2022 (codified at 7 CFR 246.4a(30)) or temporary provision(s) authorized by Congress are not permanent amendments to the State Plan and should not be reflected in answers below. Instead, waiver flexibilities impacting Program benefits and services should be recorded in Appendix C. However, State agencies should consider any historical amendments as the result of waivers granted under prior waiver authority to develop policies and procedures for current and future disasters. A. System Planning and Operation – 246.4(a)(11)(iv): Describe the procedures for planning, approving and monitoring Automated Data Processing (ADP) goods and services, and any interaction with other statewide ADP operations which may take place, including system costs for services and security. B. Participant Characteristics Minimum Data Set (MDS) – 246.4(a)(11)(i): All State agencies currently collect all required Minimum Data Set items. Please confirm that your State agency will continue to do so. For the Supplemental Data Set (SDS), which varies by the capacity of State systems, please describe the data items which are reported electronically regarding participant characteristics and whether these items are currently being collected or if there are plans to collect them in the future. C. WIC Systems Functional Requirements Checklist – 246.4(a)(8); (9); (11); (12); (13); (14); (15); and (18): Describe those functions which are currently incorporated into the MIS or which are planned to be incorporated in the future.
