I have 24 Interims this month, Nov. 2010 .Case loads have doubled with no extra help. Scheduling appointments for the 24  interims and  11 recerts would be 35 scheduled appointments  before the 15th of each month.  This is not including the Medicaid reports, Tanf reports ,all the changes clients have,not to mention the new cases coming in.

The interim reports, made a positive way of doing recerts by mail. Clients are use to this, and  are providing the verifications . With the gas prices and the lack of public transporation in our rural area,The clients couldn't make the appointment. This would lead to telephone interviews, which will lead to extra postage cost.  Keep the interims going and provide a little break for the workers!!!
