Which of the following is a responsibility of the Fiscal Employer Agent (FEA)?

FEA work centers on handling the payroll and employment paperwork for participants who self-direct their supports. Providing enrollment packets to participants, including the employment forms for their workers, is a key step that sets up hiring, payroll, and compliance, ensuring teams can start work smoothly and legally. Other options fall outside the FEA’s role: Medicaid eligibility is determined by the state’s Medicaid program, not the FEA; approving all vendor payments without supervision would bypass necessary checks and controls; and managing participants’ medical records is typically handled by healthcare providers and the participant’s care team. So the enrollment packet responsibility is the correct one because it directly supports the employment and payroll setup that the FEA is designed to manage.
