08 MA/029: Refugee Medical Assistance: Eliminating Federal Charge Codes 34, 35 and 36
|
The purpose of this General Information System (GIS) message is to inform Local Departments of Social Services (LDSS) that the following federal charge codes used for the Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA)/Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA) programs and the Unaccompanied Refugee Entrant Minor (UREM) program have been eliminated. There is no longer any programmatic or administrative need for separate federal charge codes for Cuban and Haitian Entrants. These federal charge codes will no longer be valid during Eligibility or Undercare data entry. The Federal charge codes are as follows:
• Federal Charge Code 34 - Cuban Entrants;
• Federal Charge Code 35 - Cuban/Haitian Unaccompanied Entrant Minor; and
• Federal Charge Code 36 - Haitian Entrants.
Any cases currently coded with Federal Charge Codes 34, 35 or 36 in the Welfare Management System (WMS) must be evaluated by the LDSS to determine if the federal charge code should be deleted or converted as appropriate. After the necessary system changes have been implemented, the above codes, if entered, will create an error, “Invalid FED Charge Code”.
