Screening for eligibility allows a citizen to determine if they are potentially eligible for one or more programs based on a short set of guided questions and a short set of eligibility rules. Based on this determination, the client can decide whether to apply for the programs identified. Screening can be performed while logged into the citizen account.
Screening can be initiated while logged into the citizen account by selecting the Find Government and Community Help and choosing the Check if You are Eligible for Government Benefits option or by selecting to screen from the triage results page. When screening is initiated, in progress screenings are displayed (this occurs if the citizen has started a screening, exited without completing and have saved the screening) the citizen can choose to either start a new screening or to resume a previous screening. Note: completed screenings are not displayed. If the citizen has no in progress screenings, the citizen is brought directly to a page allowing them to select from a list of screenings.
