SUBJECT:
FAMIS SCREEN CHANGES AND BACKOUT PLAN
DISCUSSION:
Effective November 6, 2006, all changes to the FAMIS screens due to the implementation of Family Medical Assistance will appear when processing Temporary Assistance, Child Care, and/or food stamp cases.
Between Monday, November 6, 2006, and Tuesday, November 7, 2006, all county offices must make copies (screen prints) of all Child Care eligibility transactions and child authorizations, Temporary Assistance and food stamp actions and store them in a daily transaction file.
These copies must be maintained in an easily accessible location for all staff processing FAMIS applications and actions. This file establishes readily available back-up files for each county office in the event of a system error or shut down.
As it is necessary to maintain accurate records of transactions, we are asking county administrators to set up procedures in their offices to ensure that all appropriate transactions are copied on Monday and Tuesday, November 6 and 7, 2006.
Staff will be informed of the progress with the revised screens in production. Additional memorandums will be forthcoming to announce screen changes.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
