COURSE CATALOG:

Due to the number of programs involved in this phase of FAMIS Implementation and because not all county office staff work with every program, the FAMIS Implementation and Training team developed the MHA Training Plan taking into consideration the specialization of workloads in various counties. Consequently, the training plan provides for separate online courses to cover the Vendor/ SNC/HCB programs as well as the SAB/BP programs. The focus of the one day of classroom training for front-line staff will be the following programs: Non-Spenddown, Spenddown, QMB, SLMB, and Ticket to Work. Staff members who work with the Vendor/SNC/HCB and the SAB/BP programs will receive instruction on those programs through online courses.

SUPERVISOR TRAINING:

Front-line supervisors will play an important role in the successful integration of the adult programs into FAMIS. To prepare supervisors for this role, the IM Training and Development Unit will offer 10 hours of classroom training for all front-line supervisors who work with the Adult programs. Training sessions for supervisors will occur prior to classroom training for eligibility specialist staff.

Topics covered in supervisor training include:

Supervisor training (Course Name: MO HealthNet for Adults Implementation Supervisor Training; Course Code: FS000090) is required for all front-line supervisors who supervise staff members who work with the adult programs. Program managers and county managers may also attend these sessions.

Appendix C of the MO HealthNet for Adults FAMIS Implementation Training Plan provides dates and locations of classroom training sessions for supervisors/managers. Access the Employee Learning Center to register for a class.
