Q: Will CDSS staff who are not currently fingerprinted need to be fingerprinted in order to handle case-specific CWS-CARES data?

A: All CDSS users who access case- or client-level information in CWS-CARES are required to be fingerprinted. State fiscal workers will have access to case- and client-level data through CWS-CARES financial management reports and will also need to be fingerprinted if they have not already been. In short: staff who have already been fingerprinted need take no further action; staff who have not been fingerprinted and will be given access will need to complete fingerprinting.
