A: A six-month read-only period for CWS/CMS is planned after CWS-CARES goes live. Note that CWS/CMS mainframe data will no longer be updated once CWS-CARES is live, meaning the data will become stale. Although read-only access remains available for six months, the last data update will occur at the October 2026 Go-Live. Counties intending to perform a one-time data pull after Go-Live are strongly encouraged to do so as close to the Go-Live date as possible.
