Submit an IT Service Request to get the new client merge privilege added for qualified staff after 05/17/14 and request that the Service Request be assigned to the “DCFS CWS/CMS” team.

Changes Pertaining to Non Minor Dependents (NMD) Training Materials

History of Legal Authorities for Placement Training Materials
A new section "Legal Auth for Placement History" has been added on the ID page of the Placement Notebook. The grid displays a history of each Legal Authority and its associated Effective Date for the Placement Episode.
A new row cannot be added to the grid when there is a ‘Legal Authority Not Yet Determined’ row or when there is a row with a blank Effective Date. You will get an error message.
As the Legal Authority for Placement type changes over the life of a Placement Episode, designated Revenue Enhancement staff should add a new row reflecting the new Legal Authority for Placement and its Start Date.
The Effective Date is mandatory when the Legal Authority For Placement type is not "Legal Authority Not Yet Determined".
Two rows cannot have the same Effective Date. You will get an error message.
The grid will sort by Effective Date in descending order.
