From the Annual Plan Overview page, go to the navigation menu and select Review Implementing Agency Plans.
The Review Implementing Agency Plans section lists each IA within the state. Click the arrow to view a list of modules for a specific IA plan.
Click the Review button to examine data from a specific module.
Review data is listed in different formats for each module:
a. Projects: To view details for each project, click the corresponding arrow. Click the Reviewed checkbox for each project.

c. Coordination & Collaboration: All details are listed on the review page.

Once all details within a module have been reviewed, click Mark as Reviewed.
The Review IA Plans section appears, and the module is marked as reviewed.
If the review of IA Plans reveals changes are needed within an IA plan, click Request Changes.
A comment field appears. List changes needed or questions to answer. Then click Request Changes.
Comments are emailed to all IA staff with access to the SNAP-Ed National PEARS system. The status of the IA plan is listed as Changes Requested.
Once all modules within an IA plan have been reviewed and no additional changes are needed, click Approve.

The IA Plan’s status is listed as Approved.
Repeat steps 3-12 for each IA in the state. Review plan modules, request changes (as needed), and approve the plan.
