The CM must access the WCOR screen to complete the conciliation record. JAWS will populate the Discovery Date field once the DT code is generated. Once the client enters a drug treatment program and fails to comply, the CM must add the conciliation record and enter the DT code on the WCOR screen.

NOTE: The FC – “Fully Complied” code is not valid after 10 days from the Discovery Date. Therefore, if the conciliation is older than ten days and good cause or compliance is determined, an (ER) “Error Code” must be used to resolve the conciliation.

Manual Referral – Adding an Adult For adults being added to an open TANF case, referral to the CM will be required for purposes of administering the drug screening questionnaire. The MDHS-EA-319A, TANF Referral Log, will be provided by the EW to the CMS to indicate the TWP exempt client is being referred only for purposes of taking the questionnaire. The CM will administer the drug screening questionnaire to the adult household member. The CM will use the MDHS-EA-319A to schedule the client for administering the SASSI.

If results of the questionnaire indicate the adult has a reasonable likelihood of a substance abuse disorder, the CM will document the finding on the MDTR screen in JAWS. If the household is eligible for TANF, the EW will use MAVERICS notice A101, TANF Approval, to inform the household of the results. Along with the A101 notice, the EW must send in a separate mailing the MDHS-EA-337, TANF Drug Testing Instructions, along with an “ePassport” form. This information packet will provide the household information on contacting the nearest testing facility for purposes of submitting to a drug test.

Before the client receives the MDHS-EA-337 TANF Drug Testing Instructions and the packet containing ePassport and eScreen control Forms, the case manager along with the clients name, the worker must enter the client ID and the specimen ID from the Drug Testing and Chain of Custody (COC) Form on the eScreen ePassport Form, must make a copy of the form and email it to eaescreen@mdhs.ms.gov and copy the director on it the same day it is given to the client.

If the client fails to cooperate in taking the questionnaire, the EW will deny the application by sending MAVERICS notice A219, TANF Denial - Other Reasons, indicating on the notice the reason for denial.
