Users may use this tool to easily scan the system and identify potential data quality issues ahead of major federal reporting submissions.
Access the Tool
The Household Issues tool can be located in 2 places:
Any workgroup > Home Workspace > Global Administration > Client Administration > Household Issues | |

Identified Issues
No Head of Household
There is not a case member in the Enrollment Case (Household) listed with Self as the Relationship to Head of Household.
More than one Head of Household
More than one case member in the Enrollment Case (Household) listed with Self as the Relationship to Head of Household.
Users should review the enrollment to assign the correct Relationship to Head of Household for all case (household) members listing one as Self.

A case member within the case, other than the head of household, has no Relationship to Head of Household selected.
Users should review the enrollment to assign the correct Relationship to Head of Household for all case (household) members listing one as Self.
Head of Household's Client record has been Deactivated with an Active Enrollment
This may appear when there is an individual case member with a Relationship to Head of Household as ‘Self’ but their client record has been deleted or merged and the Enrollment is still tied to the client record. There are several reasons this may occur in the system. Outlined below are some of the options to resolve this issue depending on the specific case.
- If the client record has been merged, restore the merged client record and re-merge the clients so that the Enrollment is correctly moved.
- If the client record was deleted accidentally, restore the client record.
- If the client record was correctly deleted and another member of the household should be the Head of Household, adjust the relationship to head of household.
- If the client record was correctly deleted, but the enrollment wasn't, delete the enrollment.
