Support across the full EE cycle

Document With Confidence

Create clear, repeatable processes that support accurate service records and reporting.

Capture Eligible Reimbursement

Connect reportable services, billing, payments and receivables with fewer gaps.

Stay Audit-Ready

Maintain organized, aligned records throughout the year instead of scrambling at audit time.

The entire chain matters

From service delivered to payment received, every record must tell the same story.

Extended Employment funding depends on more than doing the work. Hours, wages, eligibility records, support plans, service contacts, billing submissions, payments and audit documentation all need to remain aligned.

When one part of the process breaks down, providers can lose time, miss eligible reimbursement, create avoidable receivables or enter the annual audit without a complete picture.

3E brings those moving pieces together through one connected continuum of support.

A complete continuum of support

Choose focused expertise or full-cycle operational support.

Every provider has different internal capacity. 3E can strengthen one part of your process or help manage the full EE cycle.

Training & Team Readiness

Practical, role-specific training that helps program, finance and leadership teams understand responsibilities, documentation expectations and the connection between service delivery and reimbursement.

Consultation & Regulatory Guidance

Clear, operational guidance that helps translate Minnesota Extended Employment rules, DEED requirements and program changes into practical decisions and repeatable workflows.

Process & Documentation Management

Support for building and maintaining reliable processes around eligibility, support plans, service contacts, reported hours, wages and related EE records.

Full-Cycle Billing, Reconciliation & Receivables

Support from reportable-hour review through billing, payment matching, discrepancy follow-up, reconciliation and outstanding receivables management.

Audit Readiness & Oversight

Year-round preparation, record organization, reconciliation support, timeline coordination and assistance responding to findings or corrective-action needs.

Note: 3E supports audit readiness and coordination. The independent compliance examination must be performed by the provider's qualified independent auditor.

How 3E works

Meet your team where it is. Strengthen what happens next.

  1. Assess

    Review current workflows, responsibilities, documentation practices, billing processes and recurring pressure points.

  2. Align

    Connect program operations, finance, reporting and leadership around a clear, shared process.

  3. Manage

    Provide the agreed level of training, consultation or recurring operational support.

  4. Reconcile & Prepare

    Match services to billing and payments while maintaining organized, audit-ready records throughout the year.

Better operations protect the mission.

When documentation, billing and audit processes work together, provider teams spend less time chasing records and resolving preventable discrepancies. That creates more time and capacity for what matters most: helping people maintain and advance in meaningful employment.

EE-specific expertise without adding another full-time department.

Extended Employment work crosses program operations, finance, compliance and leadership. It can be difficult to find that full range of specialized experience within one internal role.

3E provides focused expertise and scalable support across the entire process.

  • Built specifically around Minnesota Extended Employment
  • Support across program, finance and audit preparation
  • Flexible engagements based on internal capacity
  • Clear processes and leadership visibility
  • Year-round readiness instead of last-minute cleanup

Can we engage 3E for only one area?

Yes. 3E can provide focused training or consultation, take responsibility for a defined operational process, or support the full EE cycle. The engagement should reflect your team's existing capacity and needs.

No. 3E is designed to strengthen internal capacity, clarify responsibilities and provide specialized support where it is most valuable.

Does 3E perform the independent compliance audit?

3E provides audit readiness, reconciliation, coordination and oversight support. The required independent compliance examination must be completed by the provider's qualified independent auditor.
