The Household Status Detail page records whether a consumer is in or out of the home (temporarily or permanently) for budgeting purposes. When a consumer moves from the household a Household Status of Permanently Out of the Home should be added.
If no record exists, KEES assumes the consumer is in the home. Household Status does not follow a person from case to case.
NOTE: This page uses Continuous Dating, meaning there can be no gaps or overlaps between the records. If needing to make a change to information on this page, users must Add a new record. When the new record is saved, effective dating occurs in order to maintain historical data.
