1454 MISSISSIPPI [ GENERAL: TWP/CASE MANAGEMENT CASE RECORD]

Revised 12 - 01 - 10 When an individual moves from one county location to another, the case record and the automated JAWS file must be assigned to the individual's new location. If the individual's new residence is in a different county, a county transfer is required, if appropriate. Reassignments Each county location is served by specific case managers. JAWS supports an automatic process for the reassignment of the participant to another case manager (i.e., the case closes in JAWS and reopens) within a county location. The supervisor may authorize, via JAWS, the reassignment of the participant, if both case managers involved are under his/her supervision. This type of online reassignments is restricted to relocations within a single county so that the participant's TANF work activities and component assignments are not disrupted. County Transfers When an individual changes his county of residence, a county transfer is required. The participant's change of address must be recorded in MAVERICS, and passed to JAWS. The following guidelines should be followed when completing a county transfer: 1. When the participant's county of residence is changed before orientation or assessment is scheduled, JAWS changes the county location and continues the scheduling process in the new location.
