P.O. BOX 2320
JEFFERSON CITY, MISSOURI
TO:
ALL COUNTY OFFICES
FROM:
JANEL R. LUCK, DIRECTOR
SUBJECT:
FAMIS ASSIGNMENTS/REFERRAL SCREEN CHANGES

DISCUSSION:

Effective September 29, 2008, the Assignments/Referral screen is split into separate screens for Temporary Assistance (TA) and MO HealthNet for Families (MHF)/MO HealthNet for Kids (MHK). This is done in order to prevent some FAMIS system issues. Policy is not changed.

The Assignments/Referral screen (ASSIGN or FM86) is used only for TA. The MA Assignments/Referral (ASSIGNMA or FMJ0) screen is used only for MHF or MHK. Both screens appear in the controlled flow for a combination TA/Family Healthcare Program application. The Question Description is identical for each screen.

The Missouri FAMIS Technical Information Menu (TECHMNU or FMMH) is also changed. The MA Assignments/Referral screen is inserted as number 22, and all subsequent screens listed on Technical Information Menu (TECHMNU or FMMH) Screen are renumbered accordingly.

NECESSARY ACTION:
