Even though work requirements for ABAWDS have been temporarily waived due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Time Limit records should still be entered in KEES according to the guidance listed in the table below. Batches in KEES have been temporarily shut off to allow ABAWDS to receive more than 3 months of Food Assistance in a 36-month period. Making sure Time Limit records have been entered correctly will help ensure data collection for ABAWDS is accurate when there is an end to the Public Health Emergency period and ABAWD months must be tracked and counted again. The current ABAWD period is 10/2022-09/2025. Make sure Time Limit records are added to the current ABAWD period. For guidance on how to add an ABAWD period and Time Limit record in KEES, see the KEES User Manual.

Eligibility staff no longer need to email referrals for any Employment Services programs. KEES generates a referral task for TANF-Work Programs and FAET when clients who meet the referral criteria are approved for TANF or Food Assistance. In addition, all potential GOALS clients are now identified through a report and contacted by Employment Services to discuss voluntary participation with the program.
When an applicant fails to complete the KWK requirements, staff should NOT add a TANF KWK record on the non-compliance page. Instead, staff should mark that the KWK was not completed on the TANF Person Detail page.
