- Deleting from certification if required after reconciliation of arrears
- Driver's License Suspension
- Revise program to include specific limited services requests
- Automated Case Closure Process

- Distribution/Financial
- Capability to track state arrears from multiple states

- Develop process to update balances on limited services cases based on CSENET transactions from other states
- Develop ability to distinguish between NCP payments and payments received from Case Manager States
- CSENET
- Redesign to build and respond to limited services requests
- Changes to receive and send account balance updates and other payment information
- Implementation Issue: Critically important that all states fully implement CSENET functionality to keep interstate case data up-to-date.
