MISSISSIPPI [ GENERAL: TANF AND TWP INFORMATION EXCHANGE ] Revised 06 - 01 - 06 MAVERICS will not send the “RECEIVE” Program Status to JAWS if the individual does not have an outstanding sanction record for TANF. MAVERICS will send the “OPEN” status to JAWS once the TANF case has been approved. b. If the case does not close, JAWS will have an “OPEN” case and a CONCILIATION RECORD that will remain “OPEN” after the 10 days expire. If the participant needs to be sanctioned, the supervisor may “CANCEL-CN” this record and allow the CM to schedule another conciliation. A new conciliation record must be added in order to sanction the participant. JAWS will display “OP” for the TANF Program Status code on ICLI and the Conciliation Resolution code field will be blank ( _________ ) on WCOR. See Chapter 12, Open TWP Cases with Expired Conciliation Report. Exemption Requests NOTE: If the worker has access to JAWS and MAVS, an exemption should be processed in MAVS instead of JAWS. If the recipient requests an exemption from the case manager (CM), the CM may enter the request in JAWS or MAVERICS. An exemption request in JAWS can be created two different ways: 1. If a conciliation record exists and the individual requests an exemption within the 10- calendar day time frame, the CM may enter the exemption request in JAWS on the existing conciliation record. MAVERICS will change the program status from “FROZEN” to the previous program status. • If the individual is approved for exemption, the EW will enter the exemption code in MAVERICS. MAVERICS will send JAWS the exemption code “EX” to resolve the conciliation. • If the individual is denied the exemption, the EW must enter the denial code in MAVERICS. MAVERICS will pass the exemption results to JAWS. The EW will close the case with a notice which has the same conciliation/closure reason as the original and MAVERICS will apply the sanction.
