Appendix B- Page 22 Rev. 3/2022 original record for the month in the top part of the WTRK43 screen.
Months can be added to the ABAWD history via the entry line located at the bottom of the WTRK43 screen in the following instances:
• Add a calendar month to the ABAWD counter;
• Add a calendar month to report the use of an ABAWD exclusion for a prior month;
• Add an ABAWD reestablish date; and
• Add a Grace Jurisdictional/District Waiver Period.
Reason Code (RSN) Description I Incorrect Coding O Overridden in Error S Out of State J Jurisdictional/District Waiver
• an error in coding on Screen 4 in WMS or the presence of income/hours in ABEL or WTWCMS prevents the system from generating an AB, AX, AR or AG record.
• O – Overridden in Error would be used when adding an AB record after a worker generated an AX or AG record in error.
• S – Out of State would be used when an ABAWD received tracked months in another state during the current New York State 36-month period, and the district must add an AB record for those months.
• J – Jurisdictional/District Waiver would be used when an AB record must be added because it was determined that the individual did not reside in a municipality of the state with an approved jurisdictional waiver.
Two additional override reason codes exist, W (wrong individual) and C (conversion error). However, use of these reason codes is not appropriate at this time.
Only one override transaction to add a month to the ABAWD counter may be processed at a time. The reason for the adjustment must be clearly documented in the case record. To complete an override transaction to add a month to the counter, a designated staff member must complete the following fields in the entry line located at the bottom of the WTRK43 screen:
• RSN as described in the table above
• DIST (District)
• CASE NO (Case Number)
• SUFF (only required for NYC cases)
I – Incorrect Coding would be used if adding an AB, AX, AR, or AG record when
