Follow-up Period (Quarters 5-8)

Reminder: Grantees are responsible for follow-up activities during the grant's three-year period of performance. Tracking and reporting outcomes continues for 12 months after exit until the end of the grant's period of performance. Follow-up must be conducted on all exiters, even those who were not placed into employment by the grantee.

• Maintaining contact with HVRP exiters can be challenging. HVRP funding may be used to provide incentives for continued contact, as long as it is consistent with your approved budget.

• When following up with employed exiters, ask if they are experiencing any challenges that impact their ability to maintain employment - such as transportation issues, offer any needed follow-up services to support their continued success, consistent with your approved budget.

• Contact your DVET/GOTR or the National Veterans Technical Assistance Center (NVTAC) if you are having any difficulties in your program.
