On Monday, January 11, 2016 at 9:44 AM, The Department of Human Service (DHS) Office of Program Review, Monitoring and Investigation (OPRMI) Investigator, Kiana Beekman conducted a phone interview with Eugene Neal in regard to a recertification application that had been received by the agency on December 4, 2015. During the conversation, Investigator, Kiana Beekman, identified herself as a DHS employee and Mr. Neal verified that he was currently receiving Public Assistance from the District of Columbia.

Neal’s mother and ESA Social Service Representative, Novella White failed to adhere to ESA policy and procedures when handling applications for processing of a family member. According to the report, on Saturday, December 5, 2016, Ms. White allegedly slid Mr. Neal’s recertification application, dated December 4, 2015, onto Social Service Representative, Deborah Bush desk while she had been preparing several other cases for processing. Upon receipt of the application, Ms. Bush placed the case in a basket in Ms. Burt’s office for review. On December 7, 2015, Ms. Bush informed Ms. Burt that she did not want to process the case because she has a personal relationship with Mr. Neal and aware that ESA policy and procedure prohibits employees from handling cases of customers who they personally know. Ms. Bush continued to state that the application appeared to be Ms. White’s …show more content…
Burt immediately reviewed the application and checked the Service Center Intake Log (SCIL) to verify if whether or not Mr. Neal had visited the service center on the documented date of the application; December 4, 2015. SCIL is a computer based tracking system that ESA employees use to register and validate the date and time that each customer visited the service center. However upon checking the system, there had been no indication that Mr. Neal had been physically present at the service center since he had not been registered in the system on the documented date of his application. Mr. Neal was therefore contacted by Investigator Beekman to verify if he had visited the service center on the date in question, in addition to confirm if whether or not he actually completed and signed the completed

This appeal involves a dispute regarding the denial of appellant’s, Pamela Brunner’s (“Brunner’s”) request for accidental disability retirement benefits (“accidental disability”) from appellee, the Maryland State Retirement and Pension System (“RPS”). Brunner contends that the RPS erred in denying her accidental disability after an injury she sustained while working for Montgomery County Public School System. Nearly five years after her injury, Brunner filed an application to receive accidental disability. The medical board of the RPS recommended approving Brunner for ordinary disability, but denied her application for accidental disability. The medical board’s decision was approved by the trustees of the RPS. Brunner appealed the trustees’
The service user I chose to assess is a 17-year-old Hispanic male whose modified name is Ricardo Sanchez. I provided casework services to Ricardo for two years in my previous role as a Therapeutic Caseworker at my current workplace, the Children’s Village, a foster care agency. Ricardo was placed in foster care after he was removed from his father’s care due to verbal and physical abuse. Ricardo’s father assumed his custody after Ricardo’s mother passed over a drug overdose when he was 15. This was Ricardo’s second time in foster care. Ricardo’s first foster care experience happened when he was 10 years-old as a result of alleged physical abuse by his mother, who at the time had full custody of Ricardo. The report was made by Ricardo’s third grade teacher after noticing bruises on Ricardo’s arms. At the time, Ricardo was only in foster care for two months as

It’s also a way for people who are working part time making low wages to receive additional assistance from the government. Hardships like this affect our communities with low income or no income. The city of Atlanta, for instance, is rapidly growing. The United States Census Bureau says, “19.2% of Georgians are in poverty today.” Increased from last year, although there are many factors that contribute to poverty today. Atlanta’s efforts rise in poverty, as food stamp cuts and backlogging shortens local incentives in the Atlanta community, which needs to reform policies as spending, and enrollment responsibility. To help those struggling in our community to actively be aware of what is going on in the community.
Throughout my research, I have gathered a lot of useful information about food stamps, also known as Common Benefit Identification Card (CBIC) (New). Food stamps are a valuable resource for many lower class families and less fortunate individuals. It is the nation's highest anti-hunger program and helps many people.
