Appendix B- Page 16 Rev. 3/2022 WTRK43 FS ABAWD OVERRIDE INPUT Data displayed on the WTRK43 screen (see Fig. 3) is based on case information maintained by districts, including ABAWD related tracking information reported by NYC Human Resources Administration. In addition to demographic information, such as the name of the individual and CIN, the WTRK43 screen displays the individual’s ABAWD counter that is a list of the calendar months during which the ABAWD did not meet the ABAWD requirements within the current 36- month fixed period and any additions/deletions made to the individual’s ABAWD tracking record.

The top part of the WTRK43 screen may contain up to ten lines representing months that have been added to or deleted from the ABAWD counter. Multiple pages can be accessed using the function keys listed at the bottom of the screen. The WTRK43 screen also displays the months for which an individual was reported as having an ABAWD exclusion based on the use of the ABAWD code “X” on screen 4 of Upstate WMS, on Individual Inquiry Screen NQIN2A-Client Information for NYC WMS, and on the Individuals Tab in myWorkspace (available to districts outside of NYC).
