Frequently Asked Questions

County Advisory Committee (CAC)

Q: For Instructor-Led Training (ILT), when will the enablement programs be ready statewide, including all 58 counties?

A: Most enablement programs will be available for anyone who has access to an environment on August 3, 2026.

Q: Will there be training on how to execute conversion validation and log issues?

A: There is no formal training on how users are expected to validate converted records in Production Simulation. However, users will be trained how to submit and log issues.

Q: How are county users going to receive communication about reported defects and fixes?

A: The Project teams are working on a Known Issues log where these issues can be kept visible. As part of the forthcoming communication, the Project will provide a list of issues that are outstanding and when a fix can be expected. Items will be regularly added to this list and shared consistently with counties.

Q: How long will the Production Simulation Office Hours structure exist for counties? When is the Tier 1 structure going to be enforced?

A: At this time, Office Hours are planned to be held for the total duration of Production Simulation. Additionally, Tier 1 support is expected when counties feel comfortable providing that support on their own. Some counties are already operating as Tier 1 support.

Q: Will there be videos for the On Demand trainings or will it solely be step by step instructions?

A: There will be a recording on how to navigate enablement and that will be shared out. For the On Demand Trainings, there will be a recording that covers how to navigate enablement, which will be shared by the Project once it's available.

Q: How long does created data last within the CARES104 Training Environment?

A: There are currently no plans to remove created data in the training environment.

Q: When can we expect to receive the course descriptions and learning objectives for the self-paced courses?

A: The Learning Paths and Course descriptions were sent to counties on 6/25.

Q: For Self-Paced courses, will counties determine who will take which learning path? 

A: The Learning Paths include recommendations on which users, based on permissions, should take which Self-Paced courses. The counties will make the final determination on who from their county needs to take which courses.

Q: Why are not all staff able to access the on-demand trainings that are self-paced?

A: Giving all users access to the training environment is difficult when we are pre-seeding data. We want a limited number of users in the training environment to help protect the seeded data, and to ensure that the data is working as expected with the production-level data.
