Common mistakes
-
Not using a separate cover sheet for each customer: Community partners and organizations must ensure that they provide a distinct cover sheet for every individual they assist. Failing to do so can lead to confusion and delays in processing.
-
Insufficient customer information: It is crucial to include as much information as possible about the customer. Omitting details can hinder the processing of benefits.
-
Neglecting to write the customer's name on each document: Each piece of paper submitted should clearly display the customer's name. This simple step can prevent mix-ups and ensure that documents are correctly attributed.
-
Sending documents multiple times: Customers should refrain from resending documents. Doing so can create unnecessary confusion and complicate the processing timeline.
-
Failing to check the My ACCESS account: After three days, customers should verify their My ACCESS account to confirm that their documents were received. Ignoring this step can lead to missed opportunities for assistance.
-
Incorrectly marking the purpose of submission: It is essential to accurately check the appropriate box for the reason for submission, whether it’s for application/renewal, reporting a change, or submitting medical bills. Misidentifying the purpose can result in processing errors.
-
Omitting case or confirmation numbers: If known, including the case number or web application confirmation number is vital. This information helps streamline the process and ensures that the documents are linked to the correct account.
-
Not specifying the type of documents being submitted: Customers must check all applicable boxes regarding the documents being turned in. Failing to specify can lead to incomplete submissions and delays in receiving benefits.
