• The IDHS has logged Integrated Eligibility System (IES) enhancement request ILIES-279032 to implement Telephonic Signature for the Responsible Service Payee (RSP) signature. Since COVID, much of the IDHS’ interactions are done via telephone. As such, the RSP Signature page is mailed to customers when the updates are completed by phone. By implementing Telephonic Signature for the RSP, the IDHS will no longer have to generate correspondence to customers and have them return the signature page. • The IDHS is in the process of adding Family and Resource Center (FCRC) TANF Queues to its call center. When a customer with active TANF calls in, the caller will be routed to the local office TANF Queue. TANF workers within each FCRC will answer the calls and manage the TANF. This will improve the IDHS’ tracking and follow-up with TANF customers. • Communication will be made with regional administrators regarding the 04/25/2023 Action Memo “Uploading the Responsibility and Service Plan Signature Page into the Electronic Case Record.”
