This administrative directive explains the recently approved regulation (Section 600.6 of 18 NYCRR) which requires social services districts to use the Cash Management Subsystem (CAMS) for the receipt of cash, refunds and recoveries of prior assistance as well as for the collection and tracking of overpayments. This regulation also requires NYC to use WMS as the primary system of maintaining records concerning information on temporary assistance, medical assistance, and food stamps overpayments, refunds and recoveries in conjunction with CAMS. Local social services districts are expected to implement both the Cash Receipts and Accounts Receivable Modules of CAMS.
