Q Does this form only apply to the fully certified One-Stops, and not the affiliate ones?
A It applies to all 31 sites within TOC where participants can access integrated services.

Q Infrastructure Costs.  Please clarify on items you expect to have included and for what physical location?
A We are using infrastructure costs in the broad sense of the word. All costs of that specific site location that support integrated services after direct participant costs and staff costs are backed out. (i.e. rent, utilities, marketing, IT, staff development).

 Q Staffing costs.  Do you want exact amount for “Jane” or is an average salary for a “Workforce Specialist” acceptable?
A You may use an average salary but I would look at my 12/30 reports for the welcome process staff costs and multiply by two to give you the estimated budgetary amount for next program year. Of course you would know if you would have to make an adjustment to that estimate due to a program design change.

 Q Does "managers" fall under "Other staff" costs? 
A Yes a portion or all of an on-site manager would fall under "Other Staff" costs. 
 Things to consider:

  • In a small shop some managers may spend a portion of their time in the other categories. I.E. Employer Services
  • Possibly in some shops they supervise functions outside integrated services and that would be outside the scope of the RSA.


Q In smaller offices the same person (1FTE) may do the  JS and Talent Development.  Should they be counted equally in both categories (which would exceed the 1 FTE) or pro-rated so they equal the 1 FTE?


A Pro-rated

 

Q How do you define the "eligibility determination" service?  Is this meant to be only the eligibility determination process through WIA 1B, or is this a broad/general term that includes all sorts of eligibility determination conducted by the partners (e.g. DHS determination of food stamp eligibility).

A Eligibility determination is the verification of identity and date of birth in accordance with welcome process procedures. 

 
Q What are the next steps in this process?  How will you use this information?  What additional info do you need from us.

A Melissa Metz will roll up the information gleaned from the online for a TOC Wide summary for the RSA.Melissa Metz will write the narrative for the RSA and submit to the State RSA Team. After the RSA review the representative OWA members will sign off. FYI. Concurrently the TOC Wide MOU is being updated.
