1. When adding a new customer, there is now a new Check Age and Enrollment button.  If it is an existing customer, you will see some information associated with that customer.  If you do not want to enroll the person, click the X at the top right. If you see the customer is enrolled with a different Agency/Provider, you can reach out to the agency to see if they are still active. This will help to know if someone is already enrolled, their age, and how many subsidized days they have. If you want to pursue the customer, click Search for Existing Customer.  Note: If the customer has more than one profile, you may still need to submit a help request 

 

2. There is a glitch with Enrollment, with some customers being discharged the date after being Enrolled. This is being looked at by the Programmer.   

 

3. The 90-day Discharge will continue happening if Case Notes, Assessments and Activities are not being kept up to date.  If the customer should not be discharged, on the Intake Review tab under 3. Enrollment status, make the status Enrolled and Eligibility Verified and correct the Program Change Date If there is an automatic discharge, you will see the case note for automatic discharge and the History details will show “System Discharge”.   You can still work in a customer’s career plan if they have been discharged.  

 

3. Updated Worksite Evaluation Section: Add a New Evaluation. The worksites associated with the customer career plan displays in a list. Select the one for which you want an evaluation. Fill it out on behalf of the supervisor or send the evaluation to the worksite supervisor. The employer will see the Provider’s email address when it is sent to the Employer.

4. Customers without a high school diploma
If a youth cannot find or does not have access to their diploma, contact the school or district office for assistance.  A copy of their diploma is needed for anyone who is enrolled.
 

5. Worksite Placement
·        Be sure the Worksite is entered into the system (Worksite Placement tab).
·        Select Employment Type (make consistent across your agency). I.e. work experience, apprenticeship, or on-the-job training.
·        Permanent employment should only be selected if the participant wages are not being paid out of grant funds. Subsidized wages means that your agency is paying the employee.  
·        Enter hourly wage and number of openings, if subsidized number of weeks for the experience.
·        Grantee Details tab: Ensure the activity/service added matches the type of employment to count towards your performance.  
·        Customer Career Plan:  Add the activity/service that corresponds to the Worksite Placement.
·        Service Provider should be selected.
·        Track Attendance. Tracking Attendance within Illinois workNet means that you do not have to upload timesheets.

 
 
6.  Payroll, Timesheets, and Attendance
·        Time should be entered via the Attendance tab in the activity/service.  If this section is being used, timesheets can be retained as a paper file.

·        Timesheets and paystubs should be uploaded to the customer's profile using the Uploads tab.  

·        After payroll has been submitted, on the Worksite Placement tab, payroll tab, click view under the Payroll History to download a copy for vouchering. What you upload to the system is the same as what you would Export.

 

7. Casey Life Skills Assessments
·        Go to the Assessments tab on a customer profile.
·        In the bottom section, enter more assessment.
·        Click Add Assessment results button.
·        Type the word Casey into the search box.
·        Select Casey Life Skills.
·        Fill in the information and save it.
·        Upload the full results under the Uploads tab using the category CLS ASSESSMENT.
·        The Assessment Summary section is different than adding an assessment.  This section can be found under the Career Plan tab, 1. Review Assessments tab, then click Add Assessment Summary.
 

8. Case Notes
Case notes cannot be edited.  A new case note can be entered after the one that is not needed detailing that the previous note was an error and should be ignored.
 

9. Items for release Thursday, 7/6 at 7:00pm Central Standard Time:  
1. Fixed a bug on the Customer Export List
2. Effective July 6, 2023, we are implementing automated discharges after 90 days of inactivity. Please update all customers that you wish to keep active in your customer list before July 6.
The parameters that we will be using to determine who is discharged are:
1.      customers invited without an application submitted within 90 days of invitation. 
2.      90 days of inactivity 
a.      case note created. 
b.      career plan change  
c.      assessment added. 
3.      Worksite placement 
a.      start date without an end date - 365 days after the start date. 
b.      most recent - start and end date and it is 90 days past the end date. 
This will run every day. This will save all of us time when trying to enroll youth who participated from 2018 - 2022 and were not discharged. This will reduce the need for Help Requests to be sent for customers who have not been discharged by a previous provider that are older than 90 days.

Title:  DHS Youth TA
Date: June 21, 2023

1. Reviewed upcoming DHS Youth updates going to production on 6/22/23:

  • Fixed the error that was displaying when a new Assessment was being searched.
  • Fixed the error that was displaying when clicking on the Progress tab.
  • Added subsidized days to the invite for the customer. This will help to determine what can be offered to the customer and if subsidized wages can be offered.
  • Updated the Status tab to display Total Subsidized Days.
  • Updated the Discharge dropdown selection on the Progress tab.  When For Cause is selected, a mandatory case note screen immediately shows to be completed.
  • Added a new Customer Placement Status section to the Dashboard. Added a new tab, Work Plan & Report, on the Group Search tab.  A work plan must be completed no matter what Category.  To add a work plan click:
    • Add Work Plan, select Category, 
    • select Provider, 
    • enter in Enrollment Goal, 
    • enter Enrollment dates, 
    • enter Successfully completed goal, 
    • enter completed start date, 
    • enter completed end date, 
    • click Add Work Plan and it will show in the list of the plans.  It is important to see plan versus actual numbers based on existing summer contract or new fiscal contract.  Review this information if it has already been entered. Submit a Help Request if the information needs updated. A work plan will need to be created for each contract that you have.
  • Updated the Customer Service Report on the reports tab (bar graph icon at the top).  Click on Project, select a Sub-Project, pick a Grantee, enter a Start Date, enter an End Date, and click Filter.  It will display the number of customers that may not have had their activities started. Clicking on the highlighted number will display a list for you of customers that can be edited. When you are using a regular started/open started date and planned due date have to be at least one day apart. This is a great way to catch participants up on their activities.

2. Notes:

  • The DHS Youth paper application will be updated.
  • Recordings of the meeting can be found here.
  • Customer attendance is not working properly.  When the customer can enter their attendance, it is important to have a way to double check what they have entered.
  • Timesheets need to be uploaded in the Timesheets section of the customer profile. Attendance still needs to be uploaded if it is not being tracked in the system.  Paystubs must be uploaded while a customer is employed no matter the Category.  They must be uploaded on each individual account. Reach out to your fiscal department to inquire if a payroll report can be ran per customer. This can be uploaded.
  • Customers are reporting they are completing Employment 101 modules, but their progress is not showing.  The customer must click thoroughly through each tab and logged in under the correct username. 
  • Billing questions should be sent to Brandon or Nicole at nicolle.mckinney@illinois.gov.
  • There is not a way to have a case note removed that has incorrect information.  Another case note can be entered after the incorrect one that documents the previous note entered was incorrect.

  • A new FY22 competitive NOFO has been posted on the IDHS FCS grants web page.  You or someone at your agency should have received an email from Dena Dobson (DHS) yesterday 2/28/22 morning.  Because this is a competitive NOFO, I will not be able to answer any questions outside of the bidders conference as to not give an unfair advantage to anyone.  This is the same protocol as with any other competitive NOFO.  The bidders conference/Q & A session will be held on Tuesday, March 15 at 1:00.  If you do not think your agency received the email regarding this, then please email me today so that I can share the info with you.  Also, this new ARPA Illinois Youth Investment Program - Community Intermediaries NOFO does not affect current IYIP in any way.  There will be a continuation renewal app posted for FY23 IYIP in the coming months. 
    https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=142877  is the link to the new NOFO for ARPA IYIP if you wish to view it. Applying for the new grant is optional. a provider have to apply separately for the new FY22 NOFO (beginning on May 1) and also apply for the continuation FY23 renewal app for IYIP (which begins on July 1)
  • Agency asked for suggestions on how to help youth show up to work.
  • Add success stories. If you cannot add a name / photo because of safety issues, send Brandon the text of the item to his email.
  • E101 - youth need to be enrolled before being able to select DHS youth for the career plan option.
