Q: Will this information be transmitted between the systems in real time or in a batch?

A: The Foster Care for Eligibility Determination (FCED) interface will process transactions in near real time if the user clicks “Submit Data to CalSAWS”. However, if the CWS-CARES user does not do that, then the changes will captured and transmitted in the overnight batch. Additionally, response times may vary depending on system availability and processing.
