A: In the event that data doesn't match or cannot be converted when migrating to CWS-CARES from Binti, there are two steps:

1. Project will share the list of data elements that cannot be moved into CWS-CARES through the conversion process. This includes data with incorrect data types, incorrect picklist values or missing mandatory data element information. If Binti provided information is different from CWS/CMS information, then Binti provided data will be rejected and shared with Counties.
2. Counties validate the data. If an issue is found, it becomes a ticket. The Project investigates, fixes the issue, redeploys the data, and counties revalidate.

A: Yes, there are certain activities that counties should practice when validating converted data. As guidance, counties should practice the following:

• Identify knowledgeable staff
• Validate accuracy and completeness
• Run county-specific test scenarios
• Provide structured feedback
