KDHE Processing Deadlines for FY 2024 has been updated and can be found on the KEES Repository under Other Helpful Information.
An issue has been identified with FA programs that is causing a 1700 Error to be thrown when running EDBC. If the case has both a Non-Compliance record and a Living Arrangement record (any dates/timeframes), then a 1700 Error will be received when EDBC is run. There is no workaround for the error; however, the fix for this issue will be in this weekend’s upcoming release.
UPDATE: ABAWD months will start counting July 1, 2023. To reduce the risk of closing a Food Assistance program in error, staff should be completing the Time Limit records when needed. The “Did not meet work/training requirement” record type can be used starting with the July 2023 benefit month beginning on Friday May 19th. This is when July becomes available as a come up month in KEES. As a reminder, “Did not meet work/training requirement” is only added through come up month. All other time limit record statuses are added through the next Review or IR month as shown in the chart below.
Making sure Time Limit records have been entered correctly will help ensure data collection for ABAWDS is accurate when the ABAWD batch resumes in a few months. A month with no Time Limit record will be treated as a countable ABAWD month by KEES. 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.
