I. Purpose This purpose of this informational letter (INF) is to review Temporary Assistance (TA) diversion and Welfare Management System (WMS) diversion payment types codes. Also, this INF will clarify that due to federal reporting requirements WMS diversion payment codes must only be used for applicant families who are eligible to receive Emergency Assistance to Needy Families (EAF). In order to be comprehensive in terms of what SSDs can provide when developing diversion strategies, guidance on the use of supportive services that may be available to applicants and recipients of TA is included.
