REceived status. The REceived status will update to PEnded status if the AFPD screen is processed with pended information. The TANF case status and date will be updated to OPen at approval. MAVERICS will not create a UJS file if the applicant fails eligibility on the AFPD screen. The status of the UJS process will display on the CAP2 screen in MAVERICS after the eligibility worker successfully processes the AFPD screen. The status of the UJS referral will be Referral created, JAWS in Progress, Complied, Denied MAVS or Denied JAWS. When it is determined that a non-exempt applicant is referable, the eligibility worker will schedule a TWP intake appointment with case management within three days via MAVERICS Notice A923, TANF Intake Appointment (TWP). The eligibility worker will put the A923 notice to history for documentation purposes. A screen print copy of the A923 will be provided to the individual as notification of the appointment date and time. The referral, along with the appointment date and time, will be entered on MDHS-EA-319A, Work Program Referral Log, which will be forwarded to the case manager supervisor daily. The case manager supervisor will use MDHS-EA-319A to make case manager assignments. In counties where the eligibility worker and case manager are the same, the MDHS-EA-319A will still be necessary to document the results of the SASSI. The case manager will “pull” the case in JAWS and add the TWP intake appointment. NOTE: If MAVERICS is not available during the interview process, the eligibility worker may use MDHS-EA-355 (T001), TWP Intake Appointment Letter, in lieu of the A923, to schedule the TWP intake appointment for non-exempt adults. MDHS-EA-355 is a manual version of the JAWS automated notice (T001) and should only be used if MAVERICS is not available, not on a routine basis. When it is determined that an exempt applicant is referable, the eligibility worker will schedule a TWP intake appointment with case management within three days via MAVERICS Notice A901, Other Notice. The eligibility worker will put the A901 to history for documentation purposes. A screen print copy of the A901 will be provided to the individual as notification of the appointment date and time. The referral, along with the appointment date and time, will be entered on MDHSEA-319BA, Substance Abuse Screening Questionnaire Referral Log, which will be forwarded to the case manager supervisor daily. The case manager supervisor will use MDHSEA- 319BA to make case manager assignments.
