Review
A step-by-step description for counselors who enter TAA information in SKIES.
Petition Details
The Petition List allows the User to see enough information to select the correct Petition Number to associate to an Entitlement or to do an on-line query. When a User selects a Petition, the Petition Details tab displays the details of the selected Petition.
Training Waiver
TAA Staff and Job Seekers generate a TAA / TRA Waiver Form. The Waiver preserves and establishes eligibility to draw basic TRA benefits when the customer is not enrolled in a TAA approved training program and is participating in an active job search. Entering and tracking the Training Waiver in SKIES provides a common place to store and access information.
Revocation of Waiver
TAA Staff and Job Seekers generate a TAA / TRA Waiver work sheet. The waiver preserves and establishes eligibility to draw basic TRA benefits when the customer is not enrolled in TAA approved training program and is participating in an active job search. Entering and tracking the Training Waiver in SKIES provides a common place to store and access information.
Obligation Summary Tab
Obligation Details screen is accessible when an obligation exists. Obligation Details screen autofills with the selected obligation displayed on the Obligation Summary screen.
New Obligation Tab
The Job Seeker > Obligation / Voucher / Payments sub menu item activates when a Job Seeker has a complete record. The Total obligation data field is greater than $1.00. SKIES validates the number of Sections is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 20. SKIES validates the total obligated (calculated data field) equals the Total Obligation (free form text entered by the User – not saved by SKIES). Screen clears (except for auto-filled data fields created by Staff and Office) and the User may enter another new obligation or use the Door to exit. When the User selects Obligations / Voucher / Payments from the drop down sub menu under Job Seeker, the New Obligation screen opens when no obligations exist for the selected Job Seeker. Any SKIES User attached to the office of the case manager (User Name attached to the Provider Service) may UPDATE an Obligation. The office must be where the User logged into SKIES at the time of entry.
Obligation Summary
Users directly and indirectly serving TAA / TRA customers enter and track Obligation / De-Obligation and Payment Information in SKIES. The TAA enhancement minimizes duplication of work related to data entry, filing, mail distribution, and expedites the access of TAA / TRA Obligations / De-Obligations and Payments for TAA staff. There is one common place to store and access the information. This reduces time needed for filing and processing which results in Users spending time directly serving TAA / TRA customers. The Job Seeker > Obligation / Voucher / Payments sub menu item activates when a Job Seeker has a complete record. The Total obligation data field is greater than $1.00. SKIES validates the number of Sections is greater than 0 and less than or equal to 20. SKIES validates the total obligated (calculated data field) equals the Total Obligation (free form text entered by the User – not saved by SKIES). Screen clears (except for auto-filled data fields created by Staff and Office) and the User may enter another new obligation or use the Door to exit. Modifications on Summary screens are limited.
New Voucher Tab

 Job Seeker – Obligations / Vouchers / Payments – New Voucher Tab

Voucher Summary Tab
Access the Voucher Summary screen by selecting the Voucher Summary tab. The Voucher Summary screen is blank when there are no vouchers for the selected Job Seeker. A voucher attached to a Service, with the Actual Start Date used to start the Obligation, will not allow modification of the Actual Start Date. A Voucher attached to a Service will not allow modification of the Planned Start Date. An attempt to modify the Planned Start Date results in this message: “A voucher for payment has been attached. This field can no longer be updated.”
Payment Summary Tab
The Voucher Payment screen is accessed by selecting the Select Voucher Payment button on the Pending Payments screen (”New” Voucher Payments) or by selecting the Payments Details button on the Payment Summary screen (Existing Voucher Payments).

Reports
The Entitlement – Entitlement Determination report prints in “real” time consistent with other data in SKIES. The Entitlement Determination Query provides Users with the ability to access and print a list of Entitlement Determinations by location, Petition #, Date Mailed, and Entitlement Type. When Job Seeker records indicate “NO” to ESD Shared Information (Core Services > Basic > General) and the User is NOT an ESD staff person, XXXXXXXXX masks confidential data of the Entitlement (includes SSN, Last Name, and First Name). Reports includes all forms needed to collect information for case management as well as local, state and federal reporting, in relation to the Entitlement Determination information. SKIES provides one common place to store and access information.
