Current Narrative:
DWD, VR and the State TANF and SNAP agency (the Division of Family Resources (DFR)) have had preliminary discussions to establish a vision around more detailed integration including common intake and service delivery. The new DWD case management system is designed to operate under a new integrated service delivery model, to allow the sharing and tracking of information effectively through partner systems that encompass the six core programs. Currently we have the ability to refer individuals and evaluate program involvement through tracking within our data reporting system. Discussions across core programs will continue as both DWD and FSSA build their new case managements systems, which will allow for a joint evaluations and assessments to interface within the case management systems.
