How
are counties coding payments for meals if they have to buy a meal for a child
protection child during an investigation or if they have to transport and need
to stop and get a meal for the child.

Minnesota Statute § 270A.03, subd.
5, part (b) was amended to clarify:
- Calculation of income includes the income of the
debtor’s spouse
- Debtor’s spouse is considered a dependent
- Income levels have increased
This change is effective
retroactively for debts incurred after December 31, 2014.
Please see the updates below that
are underlined.
(b) A
debt does not include any legal obligation to pay a claimant agency for medical
care, including hospitalization if the income of the debtor at the time when
the medical care was rendered does not exceed the following amount:
(1) for
an unmarried debtor, an income of $12,560 or less;
(2) for
a debtor with one dependent, an income of $16,080 or less;
(3) for
a debtor with two dependents, an income of $19,020 or less;

For
purposes of this paragraph, "debtor" means the individual whose
income, together with the income of the individual's spouse, other than a
separated spouse, brings the individual within the income provisions of this
paragraph. For purposes of this paragraph, a spouse, other than a separated
spouse, shall be considered a dependent.

Payments to providers during the xfer to Kinship 07-24-17
Hello
I’m wondering how counties are handling their payments to
their FC providers during the transfer to Kinship?
It seems like there has been a lag in getting payments
started at the State level?
Thanks.

Medi Van Mode billing question 7-13-17
Wondering if anyone is dealing with this. We have a bill from
Medi Van that the client is a mode 5, however they didn’t transport as a mode
5, but a mode 4, so they can’t bill the state. Is it ok for us to pay the mode
4 rate and ask for that reimbursement?
The state says no, however, MediVan is claiming other counties
are doing it, they get the reimbursement then pay Medi Van. Are counties
billing for reimbursement before they pay the providers for the rides?
Thanks,

Enhancement request for AMHI and CSP client data reporting 7-13-17
Hello
At the AMSSA regional meeting on Friday May 12th
we discussed requesting an enhancement for this report to better assist
counties with their AMHI and CSP client data reporting.
Below I have provided the setup and report columns as well
as the remaining column capabilities via customization. Keep in mind for
Special Studies for AMHI and CSP are person based so adding the workgroup
columns didn’t generate anything.
I believe one piece of our discussion was that there are no
brass codes associated with this data on this report so if we are trying to
cost out our grants to a specific grant we can’t do it easily.
Another is how to utilize this report to help end special
studies when a workgroup or service closes.
Just looking for ideas, suggestions, comments at this time.
Any assistance you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Budgeting for conference/meetings/training for staff 7-13-17
How
do counties budget for conference/meetings/training for staff? DO you
allot a specific amount per staff, per department, etc? What kind of
expenses do you take into consideration when figuring-fees, lodging, meals,
miles, etc? Please let me know! Trying to find a way to be more
uniform across the board… also if you have policies on this, I’d be interested
to see them! Thank you in advance!
