II. PROCEDURES

At initial application, when assistance is requested for an additional child, redetermination, and at the midpoint of a 24-month certification period:

● advise the client of the immunization requirement,

● discuss and determine with the client each child's immunization status to determine what action is necessary on the part of the client to meet the requirement:

o For school aged children, accept the client's statement made verbally that the child has had all required immunizations if the client states that the child is currently enrolled in school. Document this information in Case Notes.

o For all other children, review LINKS. For example, does the client need to make an appointment to have the child immunized or does the client only need to submit verification of the child's immunization record?

● advise the client in writing of any actions needed to meet the requirement, and

● give the client 10 days to complete the needed activities and submit verification.
