Please reference OPS Section 1.16.1.2.04 for complete release notes and remember to contact your SEM for questions.
On some cases eligibility was continuing to pend for
citizenship verification after interface verified. This should no longer
occur.
Conversion will no longer convert cases with an
appeal that is suspended, as that case is still being processed in the legacy
system.
SNAP benefits will now be denied if the person is still receiving verified
SNAP out of state benefits.
Some situations where the case or program status was incorrect has been
fixed.
On some cases, Medicaid Eligibility was not correctly
cascading to another category when the individual was
marked as Family Planning = "yes". This has been fixed.
Restored HIP assistance will be fully opened if a pay record is found, instead of
forming a conditional approval.
Upcoming Releases
R 7.02: 10/23/19R 7.03: 11/7/19R 7.04: 11/12/19
Associated release notes will be provided by your
SEM.
Some cases were receiving an error when Child Support and
Alimony expenses were deleted and then added back.
This has been corrected.
The Authorized Representative / Legal
Guardian page will now allow legal guardians without any program questions selected.
The system will now allow a SNAP/CASH primary individual
if the person is deceased. Previously a validation was preventing this from being
allowed.
Some cases were stopped on the person demographics page
if the citizenship was previously interface verified,
this has been corrected.
Some documents were not being attached to IEDSS cases
due to a duplicate record indicator with an ICES
document. This has been corrected.
The system will no longer generate duplicate tasks for unable to schedule
Progress report interview.
Redetermination Complete status is now appropriately set after Redetermination
closure.
On some Med Enrollment cases, other Health Coverage categories were added by the system after
Wrap-Up (EDBC). That will no longer occur – Med Enrollment cases may
only contain Med Enrollment categories.
HIP assistance will no longer continue to pend
when MAGI income is ended.
On the document search page, a new warning message is
displayed if the search results are over 100 documents,
prompting the worker to use additional search criteria.
Some ABAWD individuals that were previously disqualified
were determined incorrectly to be eligible in a future month.
This has been corrected, and all cases for this issue have been
identified and corrected.
On some cases, the failure reason on the correspondence
was for income exceeding limit, but the reason should be failure to provide verifications
for income. This has been fixed.
Some additional system errors when running ‘Wrap
Up’ have been fixed.
Some redetermination dates were being updated incorrectly
and this has been fixed. All cases having this issue have
been identified and fixed.
Changes have been made to no longer close the AG when Medicaid Mailer is received
after the Mailer Due date but prior to the last day of the redetermination month.
A correction has been made to Eligibility Determination so that the
no pay records for spouses are treated independently. EDBC will no longer close one spouse's HIP eligibility for the other spouse's
non-payment record.
Correspondences will now be sent to the facility address of
clients. This was only occurring individuals in
facilities other than nursing homes.
Workers can now update the Indiana residence question to "No" when previous info was
verified by Social Security Administration (SSA) based on
the address registered with SSA.
Changes have been made to no longer display the
Data Integrity error on the Finalize Eligibility page.
On some MASI cases, when a person moved from out of state
back to Indiana and reapplied, they were incorrectly denied for "Not an Indiana Resident", and EDBC was not cascading to other Medicaid Categories. This has been fixed.
Additional penalty date corrections have been
made.

Selecting an Income Type for an “Irregular” Pay Frequency from the Earned Income Details page
Irregular Income When your pay frequency is “Irregular”
If the pay frequency is irregular, the worksheet will not populate any Dates, which allows the worker to select the required dates. Please refer to the policy manual to determine when to use this frequency type. The monthly average is created by taking the total income and dividing the total amount by the number of months.
Users can add more rows by clicking the +Add button.
For more information, please refer to the Income in IEDSS reference material.
Income Frequency- One Time Only When to use a Pay Frequency that is “One Time Only” If you know that the income is one-time only, you can use this frequency to enter one payment (example, bonus). This will tell IEDSS to budget the amount for the month it was received. An ongoing monthly budget will not be created for this frequency.
• If the income is verified, you will need to enter a final pay amount and final payment date.
• If termination of employment is not applicable, select NO.
• The worksheet will only populate one row and the Monthly Amounts page will populate and end date.
Please refer to the policy manual to determine when to use this frequency type.
The Earned Income- Monthly Amounts page end dates the payment based on he information entered.
Income- Excluding Payments When you need to exclude a payment from the budget
If a payment needs to be excluded from the budget, you will need to select a value from the “Reason to Exclude from Average” field in the worksheet. This can be used with any Income Type or Frequency.
For more information, please refer to the Income in IEDSS reference material.
