Closing a case per a case closure application for intact family with active medical benefits:

  • Must have a closure application
  • Check CFFBI (CFFBI_/MMYY) for any state owed balances.
  • Check OBLI to verify that assigned cash medical is not accruing
  • Check HCAL (HCAL_HCA CASE#) to verify that the NCP has been added to HCA case
  • Check CFRR for payments (if state owed balances are greater than $500.00 the case will not close)

Close the case by using the CSCU screen (NEXT: CSCU). Update the IV_D STATUS with 04 and the reason with 01 then hit Enter. This closure reason is an immediate closure so it will not display a Pending closure reason or pending closure date. If you hit Enter twice it will display the reason for closure in the other reason closure field.  The case will now show a status of 04 and the balances can be removed.
