Non-Work Registrant Step-by-Step Enrollment

Providers are allowed to enroll a small percentage of non-work registrants into the RISE pilot. The number of non-work registrants enrolled cannot exceed 15% of participants enrolled in the entire pilot (both BFET and RISE Enrollments).Providers are required to continually monitor their 15% enrollment of Non-Work Registrants and cannot exceed the allowable enrollments identified in EPIS. Use the attached tracking sheet to calculate your Non-Work Registrant enrollments based on your EPIS Caseload counts.

NOTE:The RISE Team will be monitoring Non-Work Registrants in EPIS for the 15% enrollment. If a provider is over 15% enrollment,the provider will be asked to refrain from enrolling non-work registrants until they are below the 15% maximum.

The Work Registrant Calculation is on the Demographics Screen in EPIS and calculated for each individual provider. The accuracy of this information will be based on the completion of the Work Registrant Field on the client enrollment screen. When a Case Manager is creating a new case in EPIS, they must complete the Work Registrant field by selecting yes or no for the Work Registrant status. This will allow for accurate reporting of the 15% of Non-Work Registrants (See EPIS Desk Aide Enrolling a Non-Work registrant).
