October 2005 CARES Updates

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. CARES will be fixed to correct the issue where information is auto populated on AFWG (mainframe) or Employment Page (CWW) with zero in the override fields and an AP code and the case incorrectly budgets zero income instead of the correctly autopopulated amount. 
AFEI/AFWG 10/01/05 Y
  1. There will be an enhancement to the SSAU process where an extra check will be done to make sure the person is truly disabled when the disability onset date is sent from SSA.  AFUI will display the following:

    SSDI- If the individual is <62 and the BIC code is = “A”

    SSRE-If the individual  is > =full retirement age and the BIC code is “A”

    SSDI-If the individual is >=62 and< full retirement age, and there is a valid disability onset date.   If not, then SSRE will be set as the income type.

  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.
AGOR 10/14/05 N
  1. The Grace Month will be eliminated for all Medicaid programs.  See Ops Memo 05-40 for details.
