eCIS DATA ENTRY

Diversion is processed as an NCE with the same begin and end date on Program Request screen. See eCIStance for NCE processing instructions.

On the Case Non-Financial / Program Request Questions the TANF Diversion and correct Diversion period are selected from the drop down under Special Category.

The Diversion reason code must be determined and selected from the TANF Diversion drop down in the Employment section of the Income │Employment and Wages screen. If multiple reasons exist for the need for Diversion, the CAO should choose the primary one.

After all required data entry is made, eCIS will determine non-financial and income/resource eligibility for Diversion. The system will not consider or make adjustments for income received at application or expected during the Diversion months. The system will determine the monthly FSA amount. The NCE payment will equal a full FSA, up to a maximum of three months. The system will issue proper notice.
