1291 (07/2026) Chapter 8: Examples • Chapter 8: Examples ERDC Removing a Person Example 1: Leo has an open ERDC case, certified through 11/30. Leo calls to report that his daughter Ella is now living with her mom and is no longer in the home. Leo does not expect Ella to return to the household in the near future. Ella is Leo’s only child. Leo’s ERDC case will be updated to remove Ella from the home, the ERDC case will close with timely notice. Income changes Individual program example(s) ERDC Example 1: Sam lost his job on Dec. 30. He had anticipated the job loss would occur, so Sam had been looking for a new job. He was hired at his new job on Dec. 31. He reported the job change to ODHS on Jan. 4. At his new job, he is working more hours, but is paid at a lower rate causing his monthly income to be less. Because Sam reported timely his case can be updated effective January and the January CCB can be canceled and reissued with the higher hours and lower copay. Verification of income is needed before changes can be made, - ONE will pend for required verification. Authorized work search (AWS) Individual program example(s) ERDC Nonspecific return to work date Example 1: Larry calls his ODHS office on Jan. 23 to report he is no longer working due to layoffs and expects to be called back in two to three months. The worker completes a “Report a Change” action and on the income screen, selects “yes” to the question “Is the individual temporarily on leave from employment without pay?”. They should enter March on the “expected date of return” question because this the shortest time period. In March Larry calls the office and says he is still not back to work. The worker can extend the “expected date of return” to April based on Larry’s original statement. Example 2: Margie was approved for ERDC effective January 1st, with a $14.00 copay. Margie contacted her worker on June 13, stating she was laid off for a month. The worker entered the layoff in ONE with a return to work date of July 13, and the system approved AWS through July 31. In July, Margie called and reported she had not returned to work yet and was told it would be another two months. The worker updated ONE with the return to work date in Sept. Margie does not contact ODHS in September to update her case. Due to Margie not making contact in Sept., Margie’s case will remain open, and her copay will revert to the original copay amount, prior to going on AWS. Margie will start paying her original copay of $14.00 for the remainder of her certification period.
