December 2005 CARES Updates

All Programs | Child Care | FoodShare | Medicaid

CARES "moves" are updates or fixes to the CARES system. Each month, this page will include the moves that will have the greatest impact on CARES users. CARES moves are generally made each month on the Friday after adverse action. Move dates are planned in advance, however, for a variety of reasons, decisions may sometimes be made to delay or change move dates. This page will be updated monthly with the best information available.

  1. AIWS/Work Programs Sanctions.  Sometimes, when a person was sanctioned from FSET for not cooperating, CARES will incorrectly issue FoodShare benefits for that person without a re-request date on AIWS/WP Sanctions page.  CARES will be fixed to continue to sanction a person from FS for not cooperating until a re request date is entered to comply with policy.
AIWS 12/16/05  
  1. Some cases fail in the first month for reason 557 incorrectly (usually when they apply towards the end of the month) and because of this failure, expedited FS won’t issue in the second  month, instead they will pend.   If the FS group fails in the first month for reason 557, the group should be entitled to expedited FS for the second month.  CARES will be fixed to  support this policy.

  1. As a follow up to the July changes made to logic for setting Medicaid review dates, MA policy area has redefined this process and the logic will be reverted back to the way it was prior to 7/2005. The only change that will remain in effect  is for backdated months. Backdated months will be ignored when calculating the review date for MA.
