Providers on the eligibility process, provide eligibility forms, calculate participant family income, determine participant eligibility, review and analyze participant activities, and process eligibility JTA /MIS forms. The SAWC has a designated Eligibility Technician with the experience and knowledge to determine WIA youth eligibility effectively. The Eligibility Technician will review all submitted pre- applications, barriers, verifying right to work documents, reviewing or registering young male adults to selective service, and determining income eligibility in accordance with the Poverty Guidelines. The Technician will also ensure that proper documentation for Equal Opportunity Grievance Procedure and Participant Grievance Procedure are recorded for each participant. Upon reviewing all eligibility documentations, the Technician will inform the Service Provider of its youth's eligibility status accordingly. Moreover, the Eligibility Technician will review enrolled participant activities to ensure their accuracy, record the participants' information in a database in order to produce reports necessary to keep Service Providers informed, and forward accurate JTA forms to MIS personnel. Recommendations, suggestions or corrections are given to each Service Provider for each participant enrolled as needed to ensure that the eligibility requirements have been met and that enrollment goals for each program and the YSPN as a whole are reached. An Eligibility Flow Chart is attached (see attachment A) to provide a better understanding of how eligibility is processed. COMPLETING JTA & MIS FORMS The SAWC will ensure that JTA /MIS forms are completed accurately and submitted within the allotted timeframe. We will review all JTA /MIS forms to ensure accuracy and compliance with Federal, State, and Local guidelines. All Service Providers will be provided JTA/MIS forms, training on completion of JTA /MIS forms, and a JTA/MIS Time Line Policy. SAWC staff will be available to answer questions and provide technical assistance to all Service Provider regarding any forms. JTA/MIS forms are processed in a chronological order by the Service Provider and the SAWC. Once the application, enrollment, and youth test score forms are submitted to the SAWC for enrollment, it is the responsibility of the Service Navigator to ensure that all information is accurate, including documented youth test scores, enrollment activities, education status, in addition to making sure all forms have appropriate signatures and dates It is very important to track key information from each form in order to produce reports for Service Providers, track performance outcomes, and have the information readily available to provide guidance to the Service Provider on how to proceed with their participants at any given period. The SAWC has developed its own tracking database tailored to provide the above capabilities while giving itself the flexibility and information to provide the YSPN with specialized technical assistance. In addition to the tracking system, a reference file has been created for each youth enrolled in the YSPN in order to track JTA/MIS forms and ensure accuracy of information. The SAWC will make copies of the completed JTA/MIS forms and forward them to the MIS Unit for entry into the State data system for official enrollment. Copies of the JTA /MIS forms with an official stamp will be returned to the corresponding Service Provider. As youth activities are updated or closed, the Service Provider is to submit JTA /MIS forms along with data verification, if necessary. The SAWC will ensure their accuracy, input the data into the tracking system, duplicate the forms, and submit the forms to the MIS Unit for official recording. 0 EXHIBIT 2 25D -15
