Non-Cash Benefits - Entering Sub-Assessments for Children

How do I enter Non-cash Benefits for children or other minor household members? 

If a household is receiving a non-cash benefit, such as SNAP (Food Stamps), the sub-assessment should be completed for each minor household member for whom the benefit is intended. However, the dollar amount is only entered for the person who is receiving the payment (check). Complete the Amount of Non-Cash Benefit field within the sub-assessment under the record of the person receiving the benefit in their name (head of household or other adult). Then, enter the same sub-assessment under the child's record (or other minor) leaving the Amount of Non-Cash Benefit field blank. See below for details:

Person Receiving Benefit's Sub-Assessment Only Complete Amount of Non-Cash Benefit (the dollar amount) for the Head of Household or person receiving benefit under their name. Start Date: The start date of the non-cash sub assessment must be before the date of entry.  If you do not know the start date, enter at least the day prior to Entry. End date should be left open if client continues to earn this amount of benefit.

Child (or other minor's) Sub-Assessment Note the same benefit as indicated on the Head of Household record.  Use the same Start date, as well.   Leave the Amount of Non-Cash Benefits field blank.   You may include a note to clarify that the parent or Head of Household receives the benefit.

Note: If you are making updates to a client's benefits after Entry, please see the workflow for adding an Interim Review. You should no longer update a client's benefits through the Entry, unless you had made a data entry error when entering this field at Entry.
