When performing a change household ID, an aide can only complete the first three steps. A CPA must complete the “adjust benefits” screen. If an aide attempts to complete the adjust benefits screen, benefits will remain with the original household and not transfer to the foster household. |

The deadline to complete retailer monitoring is fast approaching, please make sure all visits are completed on time. Often, issues such as stocking violations are identified during monitoring that require follow up with the store, and sometimes even a second in-person visit. This can take time, so please do not leave monitoring until the last minute because even if a monitoring visit initially takes place before the deadline, if there is follow up that must occur after the deadline it will not be considered a complete monitoring. Please reach out to Lori with any questions about the monitoring process. |
