Diversion

A Diversion program block should only be registered if the household potentially meets the criteria for the Lump Sum Non-Recurrent Diversion Payment (DVR). A TANF program block must be created in addition to the Diversion program block. For instructions on how to register a program block, see Add New Program.

All data collection pages should be completed. Rules uses the information entered on the Diversion Detail page to determine if the consumer is potentially eligible for Diversion instead of TANF. EDBC must be run for both the Diversion and TANF programs at the same time.
