How do I approve an application?

Approving an Application

You can approve a home via the View/Change Application Status page.

1. 1. Navigate to the View/Change Application Status page for the family.
   2. Select "Approved" from the "Update status to" dropdown.
   3. Enter any requested information - such as date, explanation, etc.
   4. Click "Update Status" to save your changes.

Approval Overrides

If an application with incomplete requirements must be approved, contact a worker at your agency who has approval override permission.

Note: The Applicant Data column in the Progress Panel must have a green completion icon before an override can be performed. This information is found on two different pages:

Found on the Edit Application page:

• Primary language
• Number of "other adults" in the home
• Household capacity
• Approved age range
• Availability for community placements (if the applicant is a relative/kin)
• Medical training status
• Address

Found on the Applicant Data page:

• Email address
• Phone number
