If data is not entered timely, the reporting status in the system becomes LATE. Within two working days after the reporting status becomes LATE, PAL staff must select an option explaining why the survey was not completed. In the Transitional Living Services Resource GuidePDF Document see Outcome Reporting Status. Entering this information is critical. PAL staff must report why a survey was not completed for a young adult.

PAL staff must also enter a narrative under support services. The narrative must describe the efforts made to complete the survey. PAL staff must complete one narrative listing the efforts over the 45-day period for the baseline survey population, and must complete at least one narrative that lists ongoing efforts to locate youth for the follow-up survey population.
