A case or person can be denied or discontinued by using the data collection pages and running EDBC. A user can also make a decision to deny or discontinue a program or person without using EDBC rules. This is known as Negative Action. See the sections below for information on how to deny or discontinue a program or person.
Deny or Discontinue Using Data Collection Pages - Non-Medical
Deny or Discontinue Using the Non-Compliance Page - Non-Medical
Deny or Discontinue Using Negative Action - Non-Medical
Closures are displayed on the EDBC Summary page. If a program is closed for a Negative Action reason, the EDBC displays the reason. If there is a Non-Compliance record, the reason is specific to the Non-Compliance. For all other closure reasons KEES utilizes the applicable reason from decision points within the rules and displays the reason.
See the Ineligibility Status Reason Table - Non-Medical for more information on Status and Role Reasons associated with Denial/Discontinuance.
