1452 MISSISSIPPI [ GENERAL: TWP/CASE MANAGEMENT CASE RECORD]

Revised 12 - 01 - 10 2. Prioritize and assign individuals to TWP case managers and program components for processing; 3. Manage the financial aspects of the TWP, including payments for services, both to providers and participants; and 4. Monitor program effectiveness and efficiency through a series of State and Federal management reports. JAWS produces a variety of notices to TWP participants and/or providers. It also generates alerts to inform the case manager (CM) of required actions for a particular individual. The goal of JAWS is to support the efficient and effective management of the TWP, and to expedite the delivery of services to TWP participants. TWP File Status The TWP File Status in JAWS identifies the individual's eligibility, participation, and qualification for services in a single code. This status determines how JAWS processes the case, so it is essential that the file status code be correct. An individual can be assigned one of the following four file status codes: Hold Status A hold status is indicated by a code of "H" in JAWS. "H" indicates that there is some activity that must be completed outside the control of the JAWS system or the case manager, before TANF processing can proceed. The following conditions can result in the assignment of a hold status by JAWS: The individual has not completed the orientation process. The individual has not completed the assessment process. The individual has completed assessment and is awaiting assignment to a TANF work activity. The individual has barriers which prevent participation at present time. (DC - Discontinue Client)
