Person Search - PPS

While outside the context of a case:

  1. Select Case Info from Global Navigation.  The Person Search page displays.

  2. Complete a search with as much information on the consumer as available:

    NOTE:  If the consumer is not found, both First Name and Last Name fields can utilize a wild card search. Therefore, the user can enter partial first and last names to get a larger return on their search.

    Example: If the user was looking for Barbara Jenkins, they could enter Bar in the First Name field and Jenk in the Last Name field. This would return any persons in KEES whose first three letters of their first name were ‘Bar’ and the first four letters of their last name were ‘Jenk’.

  3. Enter the search criteria and then click the Search button. The Person Search page displays the Search Results Summary page with a list of potential matches.

  4. Click the Name hyperlink on the Person Search Results page to view more detailed information about this consumer. The Person View page displays.

    NOTE: The Person View page displays more detailed information. The user determines whether the person has a usable case number.  A usable case number must contain PPS program blocks only, such as Foster Care, Adoption Assistance, and Medical with a PPS Requested Medical Type. The child must be the case head/primary applicant recipient. See Usable Case Number for more information.

    EXCEPTION:  A PPS Vendor Payment Program block may be added to a non-medical case (TANF, FA) if the payments are for Family Services or Adult Protective Service consumers.  See Vendor Payments - PPS.

  5. Click the Case Number hyperlink to review the Case Summary page for the specific case or click the Cancel button to return to the Person Search results.

  6. Click the Name hyperlink.  The Person View page displays more detailed information.

  7. Determine if the person has a usable case number. A usable case number must have a PPS program block and must have the child as the Case Head.

  8. While on the Case Summary page, in the All People Associated with the Case section, click the Person’s Name to navigate back to the Person View page. Follow STEP 7 - STEP 8 to research other case numbers associated to the same person.

    NOTE: The child should be the only person listed in All People Associated with the Case.

    EXCEPTION: For Family Services and Adult Protective Services Vendor Payments, the PPS vendor payment block may be added to an ‘active’ EES Non-Medical case. EES Non-Medical Program blocks include: Food Assistance, Diversion, TANF, FA E&T and Child Care.  All persons associated to the EES Non-Medical program blocks will be listed in the All People Associated with the Case section.

  9. Click the Refine Your Search link at the top of the Person Search page to adjust the search criteria entered.
