| Description: |
The Wyoming SACWIS
system (WYCAPS) includes real-time interfaces
with the IV-A and IV-D systems. The benefit to
a social worker from the look up into Wyoming's
Department of Family Services EPICS (Eligibility
Payment Information Computer System) IV-A system
is verification of client involvement with TANF,
Food Stamps, or Medicaid. This information assists
the worker in developing a suitable case plan
for the client. Also because demographic information
can be retrieved from EPICS, social workers can
avoid duplication of data input. The system allows
the worker to search EPICS from within WYCAPS
via an "EPICS online browse facility".
WYCAPS also has a 'push button' to copy information
from EPCIS to WYCAPS. The look up is real-time
allowing the worker to make decisions more quickly
based on current information.
The interface with POSSE (Parental Obligation
System Support Enforcement), Wyoming's child support
system allows workers to retrieve the amount of
child support paid, the paid dates and who paid
the child support. Social workers often present
this information to the judge when reviewing a
child's placement and when working with families.
This look up is on-line so no reports have to
be requested and the information is available
when the worker needs it. |
