The Family Plan – Child Care List page captures all of the family plans for a child care case. A Family Plan is the combined individual child care plans for the entire family unit. A Family Plan should only be created when a worker is able to process the case to completion. A family plan is assigned a unique numeric Plan ID and Status.
A Status can change after creating or editing a Family Plan or after running EDBC. There are 6 Family Plan Statuses:
Pending –Indicates the plan is created, but EDBC has not been accepted and saved.
Approval Required – Indicates the plan is saved, but there is a month(s) over the 240 hour maximum monthly limit and require an approval by a Supervisor to allow the benefits to be authorized.
Approved – Ready to Run – Indicates the Supervisor approved a plan that required additional approval, but EDBC has not been Saved and Accepted yet.
Active – Indicates an EDBC was accepted and saved. This is one of the Family Plan Statuses which allows batches to automatically process child care benefits.
Change Pending – Indicates the user has edited an Active Family Plan and not yet Saved and Accepted EDBC or EDBC results did not match the Family Plan benefit amount.
Converted – Indicates the Family Plan is converted. This status does not allow any changes to be made to the Family Plan, other than end dating. This is one of the Family Plan Statuses which allows the batches to automatically process child care benefits.
