Files must be kept for all BFET participants for six years after the contract year and a total of seven years. Files can be kept in paper or electronic formats or a combination of paper and electronic. Files will be reviewed as part of the annual BFET program contract monitoring. Providers do not need to print eJAS progress notes and store in the file, the case note in eJAS is sufficient. If employment verification is entered in eJAS and the case notes demonstrate how the verification was obtained, it is not required to be printed and filed.
