Medical Programs

 

Medical Reviews

Reminder: Do Not manually update the Review Due Date unless it is part of a documented process/workaround. If you are processing a review and the Review Due Date does not update properly, please submit a KEES Help Desk ticket.

 

Manually updating the Review Due Date may prevent the case from being picked up by the Reviews Batch next time the review is due. In the example below, the worker manually updated the Review Due Date from 4/2023 to 4/2024 – but as you can see, there is already a Review Type populated for this Redeter ID. Only one review can be sent per Redeter ID - this means that this case will not be picked up for another review – EVER – without manual intervention by the KEES Ops Team.

Reminder: Entering ABAWD Time Limit Records

Even though work requirements for ABAWDS have been temporarily waived due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Time Limit records should still be entered in KEES according to the guidance listed in the table below. Batches in KEES have been temporarily shut off to allow ABAWDS to receive more than 3 months of Food Assistance in a 36-month period. Making sure Time Limit records have been entered correctly will help ensure data collection for ABAWDS is accurate when there is an end to the Public Health Emergency period and ABAWD months must be tracked and counted again. The current ABAWD period is 10/2022-09/2025. Make sure Time Limit records are added to the current ABAWD period. For guidance on how to add an ABAWD period and Time Limit record in KEES, see the KEES User Manual.
