Quality Control Analysts may accompany the PAS Assessor to provide technical assistance during completion of on-site PAS interviews.

Statistics shall be collected and used to identify problems requiring additional training, changes to PAS assessment instruments, PAS manuals and/or the orientation process.

Eligibility office staff shall be responsible for monitoring and improving the quality of assessments conducted in their offices. Supervisors shall review completed assessments, accompany assessors on PAS interviews, and provide technical assistance, coaching and training opportunities on an ongoing basis.
