Child to Other Adult Role Change

Overview

Binti sends an email notice to assigned approvals worker when a child in the home (not placed by your agency) turns 18 years old. In order to maintain proper documentation, the child record should be deleted and the individual should be added as an Other Adult in the home. For some agencies, Binti will automatically convert them to an Other Adult when the child turns 18. Data, documents and forms completed for the child will be preserved and carried over where possible.

Child to Other Adult Role Automatic Change

How It Works

The automatic conversion is all done in the background! As long as children have a date of birth entered in Binti (which is a required field) they will convert to Other Adult.

Note: Other Adults will now have requirements that need to be met. In order for an other adult in the home to log in and complete their required forms, an email address will need to be added for them. 

How do I add an email address after a child is automatically converted to an Other Adult?

1. Navigate to Edit Application.

2. Scroll down to the Other Adults section and click the pencil icon. 
   

3. Enter the email address and click "Save".

4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Update Application".

What will change in Binti after the automatic change?

Documents & Forms:

• • • New form requirements will generate for the new Other Adult. 
      
    • Any existing documents or forms that complete requirements for an Other Adult will carry over to the new profile.
    • All other existing documents that are not required, will be saved in the "Other/Miscellaneous Documents" section.

Background Checks:

• • • Background check requirements will generate for the new Other Adult.

To change a child to an "Other Adult" or adult in the home, you must delete the child record and add them as an Other Adult. The following steps outline the process.

Step 1: Download historical documentation (if applicable)

If your agency collects Supporting Documents for children in the home, download those files from historical applications. The files can be re-uploaded to the Miscellaneous/Other Documents section at the bottom of the Documents page.

1. Navigate to Edit Application. Navigate to Edit Children in Home page.

2. Click "Remove" for the child you want to delete.
3. Click "Submit" to confirm you have downloaded documents and want to delete the record.

Step 3: Add a new Other Adult

1. Navigate to Edit Application.

2. Click "List Another Household Member" under the Other Adults section.
3. Enter required information, setting the Date Joined Home to the day of the child's 18th birthday.
4. Click "Save & Send Request" to complete.
