Closure/Exit Procedure

Transcription

1 Closure/Exit Procedure Overview For each participant, the WIOA application must be Closed once the participant is no longer in need of services. All customers in WIOA for 90 days without an active service MUST be exited from WIOA back to the last date of service. Agencies must monitor their case load and run the Days Since Last Active Service Report on a monthly basis. These are the steps that must be followed in order to Close the participant s WIOA application from Career Connect for any reason. Creating the Case Closure automatically Exits the customer from WIOA. Navigation Create a Closure for every customer when it has been determined the participant is no longer in need of services and the application needs to be Closed. The Closure bar can be found under staff profiles > case management > programs > click on the (+) WIOA Application> Closure. Procedures Please make sure the following, if applicable, have been completed BEFORE Creating a Closure in Career Connect: 1.
