Q: Will CWS‑CARES include functionality to document and track SSI/SSP eligibility and case management requirements for youth receiving Social Security benefits, and provide reporting capabilities to ensure we are meeting legal criteria?
A: For CWS-CARES V1, the worker will be able to document a screening for SSI/SSP benefits. They will also be able to upload any document to a case record such to support eligibility and tracking of youth who have social security benefits. As the CWDS Project and the counties identify additional guidance and practices, CWS-CARES will expand functionality to meet additional needs in CWS-CARES V2 and any subsequent releases. Thank you for your advocacy, please do not hesitate to continue doing so going forward.
