10182019 Dispatch

A build is scheduled for this weekend. Below is a summary of what is included in the release as well as any workarounds that will no longer be necessary.

What’s New for All Staff

The Regenerate button on the Distributed Documents Search Results Summary page will now be disabled and appear to be grayed out after the first click. This change was made to KEES in an effort to prevent staff from clicking the button more than once and sending out duplicate copies of regenerated forms.

What We Fixed for All Staff

NEW indicators were displaying for income records generated from the Self-Service Portal (SSP) and would not disappear. This issue has been fixed.

Medical Programs

What’s New for Medical Staff

The rules logic was updated to remove the Pending Deceased Date verification check. This means that with this change only Verified Deceased Date records will be used by the rules when determining if a person is deceased. This fixes the issue of incorrectly discontinuing an individual who has a Pending Deceased Date record.

Initially the TALX statuses chosen to be used for the Reasonable Compatibility determination were Active, Part Time, and Leave. Recently, it was discovered that TALX has more statuses which they consider to be Active employment statuses, in addition to the three mentioned above. Because of this, KEES will be updated to allow all Active employee status codes in TALX to be used for the Reasonable Compatibility determination in KEES. This will increase the income results returned in Tier 2 and allow for additional Reasonable Compatibility determinations to be completed. These updates should also decrease the amount of times staff will need to manually access TALX data. Current Reasonable Compatibility policy will not change, and only Active statuses will be used in determinations. A chart listing all statuses in TALX will be included in the KEES User Manual. These results will be stored in KEES for future reference.

KEES will now be able to electronically transmit grievance information that is needed in the generation of monthly grievance reports that are provided by DXC. As part of the system change, the grievance process was slightly modified so that the information needed could be captured in KEES. Please see Training and the KEES User Manual for the specific details.

The following changes to the Medical Reviews Batch have been implemented in an effort to reduce the number of Pre-Populated Reviews being generated. The Medical Reviews Batch was updated with the following:

Will now allow individuals with an SSI Major Aid Code and an MSP (QMB or LMB) Minor Aid Code to receive a Super Passive Review.
The earned income check has been removed for Elderly and Disabled programs which are subject to a Reasonable Compatibility determination. This means that an Elderly and Disabled program can now receive a Passive Review if all other criteria are met. Note: Long Term Care programs are still subject to the earned income check and shall receive a Pre-Populated Review if a high-dated earned income record is present.
The previous requirement that a Pre-Populated Review be sent to households who had received Passive Reviews for the last two reviews has been removed. This means that a medical program may now potentially be eligible to receive a Passive Review indefinitely as long as it meets the Passive Review requirements.

Medical Issues We Fixed

The issue where the auto journal entries generated from a Contact Log would display an incorrect Contact Type, Long Description and Source has been fixed. The auto journal entry will now generate correctly.

The issue which prevented completion of Grievance tasks after selecting a Contact Reason of Follow Up Resolved has now been fixed. Staff will now be able to resolve Grievance tasks after selecting a Contact Reason of Follow Up Resolved when updating a Grievance Contact Log entry. Workaround WA415 will now be retired.

Previously there was an issue where downstream State-Change tasks were not created after the completion of an Add Newborn task that was created via the Contact Log. This issue has now been fixed.

The issue in which Grievance tasks were created with an incorrect date has been fixed. Grievance tasks will now generate with the correct date.

The issue with the Medically Needy EDBC page incorrectly showing only one month of the spenddown base period after clicking on the Unearned Income line item hyperlink has now been fixed. Staff will now be able to view all 6 spenddown months on the Medically Needy EDBC page.

The issue related to the LTC Details displaying next to the Minor Aid Code on the Case Summary page has been fixed. The LTC Details will now only display next to the Major Aid Code.

The issue where the NEW indicator did not disappear from the Task Navigation link for Other Health Insurance after data acceptance has been completed has been fixed.

The issue in which Grievance tasks from the Task Inventory were not showing on the BPM Detail or Case Maintenance Detail Report has been fixed.

The issue related to the Document Type of Trust/Annuity Clearance creating a DCF task has been fixed. Documents imaged with this Document Type will now only generate a KDHE task of Trust/Annuity Clearance.

The issue in which staff were unable to get to the Manual EDBC link under the Presumptive Eligibility section of Task Navigation has now been fixed.

Non-Medical Programs

Non-Medical Issues We Fixed

When calculating the Child Care Family Plan, Non-Medical income records with the LIEAP program type and no end date were being considered in the Family Plan calculation for the Family Share determination. This issue has been fixed.

The incorrect application date was displaying on the V301 in some scenarios when reapply functionality was utilized. This issue has been fixed.
