Employer Questions
Confirm your approved candidate by selecting your application in your SMApply account and completing the “New Employee’s Information” task accessible under “Your tasks.” If you do not see this task, ensure you have completed the “Organizational Signers” task and the “Authorization for Direct Deposit” task.
The candidate must be a new employee to the organization or have a new position with increased responsibilities within the organization.
Participant Questions
This depends on the type of program you are applying for. This will be noted within the eligibility requirements of each program.
Ask the employer to complete an Employer Application. Once they are approved, give them your approved Participant Application ID number so they can confirm you through SMApply.
