Appendix B- Page 11 Rev. 3/2022 education, the activity only counts towards hours above the 20 hours participated in other core activities. The logic for the Vocational Education Months Used counter is run after the end of the month and will be generated if the criteria apply at any time during the month.

The individual must be active (WMS/ myWorkspace individual status code 07) in a TA case (case types 11, 12, 16, or 17 regardless of State/Federal Charge code) and must have been enrolled in Vocational Education at some point during the month. (The counter will only increment if the client was enrolled in Vocational Education while the individual was active in the case).

It is important to note that none of the counters is ever systematically decremented. To decrement a counter that was incremented in error, the worker must use the Override function via WRTS override screens (Screen 17 in WMS).
