What is Included?
This training will provide an overview of these new tools:
• ACCESS Report My Changes• The Change Report Inbox in CWW• Change Processing in CWW
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
Since August 2004, customers have been able to complete an eligibility self-assessment on-line.
The ACCESS website was then enhanced in September 2005 to allow customers to check the status of their benefits on-line.
Customers’ ACCESS Experience
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
Since June 2006, customers have been able to apply online for FoodShare, Family Medicaid/BadgerCare and the Family Planning Waiver Program.
On September 6, 2006, we will launch the first phase of Report My Changes (RMC). During this initial phase, customers will be able to report only job changes through ACCESS. In 2007, we will expand RMC to include changes in address, household composition, and expenses.
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
Who Can Report A Change?• Report My Changes (RMC) is part of the existing Check My Benefits (CMB)
component of ACCESS. RMC uses the same security framework used in CMB, which provides two levels of access to information:
– Full-View for the Primary Person and Primary Person’s spouse– Targeted View for all other adults on the case.
Note: minors may not access CMB or RMC unless they are the Primary Person or the Primary Person’s spouse.
• To use RMC, a customer must create a secure account with a user ID and password. Once an account is created, the user can log in anytime with the user ID and password.
– If a customer already has an account for CMB, s/he will be able to use the same account for RMC.
• For whom can the user report changes?– Full-View users can report changes for anyone in the household– Targeted-View users can report changes only for themselves
• When can a user report changes?– In order to report changes for a case, someone on the case must:
• be receiving benefits, OR• have received Medicaid in the last 30 days

Report My Changes Client View: Getting to RMC
Let’s take the example of Trina and Stan Park, who are both eligible for FoodShare. Trina has two jobs and needs to report a change in one of them. Stan needs to report a new job. From the ACCESS homepage at http://access.wisconsin.gov, Trina will click on “Check My Benefits”.
Note that the “Check My Benefits” icon is used to get to “Report My
Changes”.
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
Report My Changes: Account & Login
The first time Trina visits CMB/RMC, she’ll need to click on “Create Account” to set up her user ID and password. The next time she visits CMB/RMC, she can simply click on “Login” to log in with her user ID and password.
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006

•On the RMC home page, Trina can check the box to report a job change.
•She can also view information about the change reporting process for her county, and a list of change reporting requirements specifically based on the programs that she is currently receiving.
She’ll also get a special message about her reduced reporting threshold.
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
Report My Changes: Reporting a Job Change
ACCESS will then connect to CARES electronically to get a list of the current or recent jobs on file for Trina and Stan’s case. Trina wants to report a job change and a new job. She’ll check the box for the job that has changed. She’ll also check the box to indicate that Stan has a new job.
Note: both job changes and jobs ending are reported as a “change”.
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
Report My Changes: Employer Information
1) ACCESS will first display a page with Trina’s Walton Enterprises employment details pre-populated from CARES.
3) Trina will make changes to the fields on the left side of the screen to update the information.
2) On the right side of the page, Trina will be able to see the information currently on file. This will stay the same, even if she makes a change on the left side of the screen.

The PDF version of the change report will be available online in Trina’s MyACCESS Folder. The MyACCESS summary will also show the status of the change.
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
Reported ChangesLike the ACCESS on-
line application, Change Reports are submitted to CWW
right after the customer hits submit. But, if the customer electronically
submits the change after 4:30pm
on a business day or anytime on a weekend or holiday, the reporting
date will be set to the next business day.
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
The Change Report Inbox
The Change Report submitted by the customer will be electronically transmitted to CWW.
CWW now has a set of new screens that make up the Change Report Inbox. The reported change will go to the Change Report Inbox and await worker action. It will be assigned automatically to the primary worker for the case.
Keep in mind that the Change Report Inbox is similar to but separate from the RFA/ACCESS Application Inbox.
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
The Change Report Inbox
You can use new Change Report Inbox screens in CWW to:
• View a list of changes that have been assigned to you• Search for change reports using basic and advanced
searches;• View a list of reports that meet specific criteria;• Select the report(s) you want to work with; or• Re-assign reports to workers as desired.
Remember: change reports will be automatically assigned to the primary worker when they are submitted to the agency.
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
Getting to the Change Report Inbox Listing
The Change Report Inbox Listing page can be accessed via:
• The My Tasks box on the worker’s CWW Home page (click the magnifying glass to see an Inbox listing of the Change Reports that have been assigned to you), or
• The Change Report Inbox Search page (use the basic or advanced search to view a listing of the Change Reports that meet your criteria.)
• In this example, Trina’s change report has been automatically assigned to the worker for her case. That’s why it appears under “My Tasks.”
• If you have the RMC tracking number, you can also enter it in the Quick Select field.
DHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAININGDHFS/DHCF/BEM RMC TRAINING AUGUST 7, 2006AUGUST 7, 2006
Change Report Inbox
If you are in an agency with a change center, workers will see the count of change reports associated with their cases on their home page but they should not take action on the changes.
Change center staff should search the inbox to find change reports to process. Agencies can either reassign a group of Change Reports to change center staff or each change center staff member can reassign the change report to themselves as they begin processing it.
