In certain circumstances, an agency may request on behalf of a provider a waiver or variance from ODJFS rules. This request may be linked to a recommendation for approval or certification. (See Record a recommendation for certification for instructions on creating the recommendation record.)
You can link a waiver or variance record to a recommendation when the transaction type on this record is "Recommendation for Initial Certification," "Recommendation for Recertification," or "Change in Circumstances." A waiver or variance record can be linked only once to the recommendation record.
Link a recommendation to waiver or variance record as follows:
From the Home screen, click the Provider tab.
Click the Workload tab. The Workload screen appears.
Click the Select link for the provider whose recommendation you want to record. The Provider Overview screen appears.
Click the Approval/Certification link in the navigation bar on the left. The Maintain Approval/Certification Recommendations screen appears. It lists each recommendation record for this provider.
Click the Edit link for the recommendation record to which you want to link the waiver or variance record. The Maintain Transactions screen appears. You can add this link only if the recommendation record is in "Pending" status.
Click Administrative Rules. The Maintain Administrative Rules screen appears.
Click Link Waiver/Variance. The Maintain Waiver/Variance Requests screen appears.
