Previous Policy - 12.2.5 Case Notes

Effective date: October 1, 2020

Case notes refer to either paper or online statements, primarily captured in ASSET Manage Customer Notes, made by the career planner that identify an individual's status for a specific data element, the date on which the information was obtained, and the career planner who obtained the information.1

NOTE: The requirement to utilize case notes to document an individual's status for a specific data element applies only when case notes are an allowable documentation methodology for a particular data element and are being used as the sole method for documenting that element.

Case notes should also be used as a means to document regular interactions with individuals including meetings, phone calls, emails, or other types of communication.

Case notes should tell the story, from beginning to end, of each individual's engagement with the WIOA Program.

Effective case notes are objective, detailed, accurate, and timely. DWD-DET defines the timely entry of case notes as occurring within 10 calendar days from the date of the interaction being documented.
