Compliance Monitoring
According to 667.410(b)(1-7) of the Federal Register, the
Division of Workforce Services must conduct an annual on-site review of
each of Kentucky’s ten (10) local areas to ensure that they are in
compliance with the Department of Labor’s uniform administrative requirements.
This requirement is in place to ensure that established policies are producing
quality programs and that the outcomes meet the objectives of the Act and
regulations. In response to this obligation, DWES has developed a comprehensive
monitoring tool that will be used during each on-site reviews.
National
Emergency Grant (NEG)
There will be a
minimum of two (2) onsite reviews of each NEG project: one within 90 days
after the grant award; a second at approximately the midpoint of the grant
period or six (6) months after the project begins enrolling participants,
whichever comes first. Additional on-site reviews may be conducted based
upon the complexity of the project and/or Findings resulting from either of the
two (2) previous reviews.
In cases where
the State is the Grantee, but not the Project Operator, the State will have the
primary responsibility for conducting the 90-day review. The Midpoint
review of such projects will be jointly conducted by the State and the Regional
Office. National Office staff may participate in Midpoint reviews of
selected large and/or complex projects.
90-day Review
The purpose of
this review is to verify that the required services have been or are being
provided; the implementation actions regarding facilities, staffing and project
operator agreements have been completed, and that core management and
participant service processes are being planned and implemented appropriately.
Midpoint
Review
The purpose of
this review is to assess the effectiveness of the participant service process
and the core service elements: outreach, recruitment, eligibility,
assessment and service planning, referral to services, and job
development. This review will also analyze the approach to collecting and
using customer feedback information.
