Authorized Services

Authorized services are awarded when a child is found eligible for Emergency Assistance eligibility. These services can be share with people who are part of the assistance group. Once services are awarded and shared, the Authorized Services card on every recipient's eligibility application will populate.

Where Authorized Services are Displayed

Authorized Services will display in the Application card on the overview page of the EA application, in an expandable menu. When the blue arrow next to the Authorized Services heading is clicked, the card will expand and display the services the child is receiving, the names of anyone receiving shared services, and the effective dates. The names of anyone receiving shared authorized services are linked to that person’s profile page.

Additionally, the eligibility applications of people receiving shared services will display the authorized services s/he will receive in the Sharing card on their eligibility application.

Additionally, the eligibility applications of people receiving shared services will display the authorized services s/he will receive in two places.

• 1. The Sharing Card (this card only appears when the person is receiving shared authorized services).

• 1. The Authorized Services Card

Sharing Authorized Services

Authorized Services can be shared with members of the assistance group who:

• • are not eligible for IV-E

  • are not JD/JS

  • are US citizens

  • have not received Emergency Assistance in the last 365 days.

Workers have the option of sharing authorized services in Casebook immediately after the focus child is found to be eligible. After the determination has been made, a popup box will open that lists every member of the assistance group.

• 1. Use the checkboxes to select which members should receive authorized services.

  2. Click Share.

  3. This will populate the Authorized Services cards as illustrated above.

Types of Authorized Services

In Casebook, authorized services are automatically selected. For each eligible child, in an in-home CHINS, Casebook will autoselect non-medical counseling. For each eligible household member, the system will auto select Non-medical counseling/homemaker (i.e., parenting classes, debt management).

Casebook does not support authorized services for children who are in an out of home placement at the time of an EA event including:

• • Substitute care in a licensed setting (i.e., out-of-home emergency placement at licensed resource)

  • Clothing
