Question: Should the EIC component be opened when a participant reports employment? |

|
Answer: No. The EIC component is used for the authorization and retroactive authorization of supportive services needed to assist the participant to keep his/her job.

The EIC Component may only be opened after the employment has been entered on the MEPF screen. |
