Final KDHE Processing Deadlines - Fiscal Year 2021 has been updated and can be found on the KEES Repository under Other Helpful Information.
The Buy In Deletion Report will be available to eligibility staff on the 14th of each month. The Buy In file will be sent to CMS early on the morning of the 21st. The Buy In Deletion report that is received on 6/14/2020 will include all cases that lost eligibility 4/30/2020.
The removal of the deletion records by DXC will need to be completed by 5:00 PM on June 19, 2020. Any cases that need the deletion removed from the CMS file, will need to have an email sent to the DXC Buy In team no later than 2:00 PM on the 19th so they can be manually processed by the 5:00 PM deadline. The requests can be sent on a daily basis as the report is worked. DXC cannot guarantee that the manual processing will be completed before the CMS file is sent if the manual deletion requests are received after 2:00 PM on June 19th.
An email will need to be sent to the DXC Buy In team for any new cases eligible for immediate buy in authorized between June 14th and the 19th to ensure the accretion record is manually added to the buy in file. ksxix-buyin@dxc.com
If a deletion was manually removed from the CMS file last month, and the eligibility for that member is still not up to date in the MMIS at the point the deletion file is sent to CMS this month, that deletion will go to CMS even though that member is only listed on the Buy In Deletion report once.
DCF Processing Deadlines – Year 2020 can be found on the DCF Intranet under Policy and Procedures.
An Emergency Allotment Issuance for May Food Assistance households will be sent to the EBT provider (FIS) this weekend and available to consumers starting Monday, 6/15/2020. The staggered issuance chart is below for your reference.
All cases that received a benefit for May 2020 and did not already receive the maximum benefit amount will receive the Emergency Allotment. The Emergency Allotment is the difference between the maximum benefit for the household size and what they were originally eligible for.
The vast majority of cases will run through Batch EDBC using a run reason of Public Health Emergency. This run reason establishes a one-month EDBC to allow the one-time supplement to be issued but keeps the high dated EDBC as previously calculated. This run reason will also serve as a way to track the cases within KEES.
There are some situations that cannot be processed by Batch EDBC and will require a worker to use the Public Health Emergency run reason to run EDBC. This run reason should only be used by designated staff members who are working the identified cases. These cases will be prioritized by alphabetical order to align with the staggered issuance approach. These households will receive their benefits the day after the case is processed with the Public Health Emergency run reason for May 2020.
