  • Notice of Ineligibility and Terminations

    Notice of Ineligibility and Terminations Weekly Email 10/13/20 • Process/Timing Change: To comply with State rule and the State Hearings Process, we need to make a change to when Notices of Termination (NOT) are either mailed or delivered to Participants. Moving forward all NOT's must be mailed or delivered to Participants fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the termination date indicated on the Notice of Ineligibility (NOI). If you have any questions about this please reach out to us. o If the 15th day falls on a weekend, the NOT must be mailed or delivered on the Friday before o If the Participant regains eligibility during the fifteen (15) day period prior to termination, simply invalidate the NOT and move forward o Do not terminate or end date anything in SACWIS until the actual NOI/NOT effective date o Enter an activity log indicating when the NOT was sent or delivered o Enter another activity log if the Participant becomes eligible and the NOT is being invalidated o For Participants turning 21/aging out an NOT at 60 days prior to their 21st birthday is all that needs to be done o The Participant still has 15 days from the day the NOT was mailed or delivered to file an appeal and receive benefits -- this has not changed. The 15 days just occurs before the NOT date now, not after.  If the Participant files an appeal between the time they receive the NOT and the termination effective date, but becomes eligible prior to the termination effective date they should be instructed to withdraw the appeal  If the Participant files an appeal between the time they receive the NOT and termination effective date, but does not become eligible prior to the termination effective date, the same process we have now is still in place  If the Participant is terminated and has filed an appeal, but reenrolls before their hearing, they should be instructed to withdraw the appeal Weekly Email 10/1/20 • I want to clarify some confusion that arose with NOI's and NOT's after our last regional meetings. All NOI's and NOT's must be either hand delivered to the Participant or left in a secure location at their place of residence or mailed to their last known address. If you want to follow up with an email to the Participant, that is fine, but it must be done only after one of the first three official options has been accomplished and documented in SACWIS.

  • Housing

    Housing Weekly Email 12/11/20 • Clarification on FYI Vouchers: Because Bridges is extended foster care, our Participants cannot receive both the FYI voucher and be served in Bridges simultaneously. Right now, our best strategy is still to assist Participants with the voucher process as part of their discharge plan from Bridges. The timeframe to start the process will depend heavily on the availability/timing of receiving the voucher. Best practice dictates that at approximately 90 days prior to termination, contact is made with the local housing authority to determine the availability and timing. This is because, if a voucher is received by a Participant, they have a very short window of time to use the voucher which may include finding an approved landlord and moving. If not used in that window, they risk losing it and cannot get it again; vouchers can only be received one time. o For Participants terminating from Bridges who may wish to reenroll, they will need to be aware prior to termination that they have a choice: They can either apply for an FYI voucher and work with their county's post emancipation services for additional support or reenroll in Bridges without the FYI voucher. The best strategy here is to explain that if they reenroll in Bridges, we will pay rent and provide all of the other services until they turn 21 at which time, they can apply for the FYI voucher and get the most benefit from it. o If by chance a young person wants to enroll in Bridges who already has an FYI voucher, they will need to terminate the voucher with the housing authority prior to enrolling in Bridges. o Another great strategy is to advocate to landlords to become Section 8 certified which would significantly benefit Participants by not having to move upon discharge. Weekly Email 11/13/20 • Please remember that we should not be contacting a young adult still in PCSA/IV-E Court/DYS custody without obtaining permission first. Once you have reached out to their worker and received permission to contact the young person, simply enter it into an activity log. Weekly Email 11/4/20 • Eligibility Clarification: Some applications have been submitted with a weekly pay stub or work schedule indicating the Participant will or did work 20 hours for a given week which is not sufficient to determine eligibility. In order for a Participant to be eligible for Bridges, he or she must show 80 hours over a consecutive 30-day period. Therefore, documentation that supports only 20 hours in a given week is not sufficient because we need to show 80 hours over 30-days. Weekly Email 10/23/20 • A few words on our In-home and Supportive In-home housing types: o When using the Supportive In-home housing type, please ensure that additional supports are actually taking place. Additional supports are typically in the form of life skills (assistance with cooking, shopping, budgeting, homework, cleaning, transportation) and "family" interaction (sharing meals, holidays, special events). When doing visits, check in to be sure these kinds of activities are occurring. o The base rate for these housing types is $300 for In-home and $400 for Supportive In-home. Depending on the services, this rate can be increased slightly. If there are other expenses the Participant and the Provider have agreed to share such as utilities, food, phone/internet, those will be annotated accordingly on the Participant's budget. o Regardless of the In-home type, a Host Home Agreement (found on the Portal) needs to be accomplished. This includes a walkthrough "inspection" of the living situation to ensure it is safe and habitable. • Guidance for Landlords to become Section 8 Certified (Provided on the Portal) o Many of the landlords serving our Participants are already section 8 certified which allows the Participant to remain stably housed in their existing apartment as they transition out of Bridges if they have a Section 8 certificate or FYI voucher. If their landlord is not section 8 certified there is a good chance the Participant will need to move in order to continue to afford the rent post Bridges. o Please provide this information to as many Landlords as possible to help our Participants remain stably housing and avoid the stress of moving. o Remember that FYI vouchers need to be part of the Participant's exit plan and they should be encouraged to apply for these vouchers 3-6 months prior to program exit. We will provide additional information/updates in our December Regional meeting regarding FYI Vouchers. Weekly Email 10/13/20 • If you need a date corrected for a housing, service tier, or a dependent record please send these requests to your ODJFS Policy Developer vs. utilizing the Helpdesk. Doing so will ensure updates happen quickly.
