DISCUSSION:
Effective June 1, 2000, the online FISU and FEX2 screens and the IM-106B form are revised to remove obsolete information and to accommodate changes due to Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT).

FISU SCREEN CHANGES:

  • The issuance codes of D, E, F, J and L are no longer available for use in the "Reason Issued" field. If an incorrect issuance code is entered, an online edit appears to remind staff that another code must be selected.

  •  
  • The address field in FISU is removed. 

  •  
  • A new field is added entitled "County Address used for Benefit Security Card/Pin".  An entry of either "Y" or "N" is required.  A note is added below the statement to remind staff an entry in this field WILL NOT update EBTU or the Administrative Terminal.

  •  
  • The "Moved Up Amount" is removed as the combined allotment policy is not in effect in Missouri.

  •  
  • The "Amount of Stamps" field is changed to allow entry of both dollars and cents.  This is applicable for county replacement of food stamp benefits using the IM-110 and reason code "K" issuance code or when State Office receives an IM-113 and determines replacement of benefits is appropriate.
FEX2 SCREEN CHANGES: 
  • The address field is removed.

  •  
  • We added a line "County Address used for Benefit Security" Card/Pin?  If "Y" worker must update EBTU."  A "Y" or "N" entry is required.  If the answer to the question is "yes", the worker has to update EBTU changing the mailing address from "C", residential address to "O", county office address.

  •  
  • The question for certified mail is removed.

  •  
  • The question for county mailing is removed.

  •  
  • The FS-1, Appendix A, instructions are revised to reflect changes made to remove the address information from FEX2. EBT language is also incorporated.
 IM-106B FORM CHANGES:

PART II, TERMINAL ENTRY DATA

  • The address and reason fields in this section are changed to be consistent with the FISU screen revisions.
PART III, TRANSACTION RESPONSE:
  • A new category "Override Requested" is added for staff to use when State Office is called and completes an override.
IM-106B FORM INSTRUCTION CHANGES:
  • The IM-106B form instructions are revised to reflect changes and updates completed for the FISU screen. 

  •  
  • The IM-106B, Appendix A, is revised to incorporate EBT language and remove obsolete edit codes.
