Case Management Benefits and Resources

Gathering information about a participant’s military service has several benefits:

  1. There are special programs that can assist veterans with employment.
  2. Skills learned while in military service are transferrable. These skills make a participant marketable to potential employers and set the foundation for additional education and training activities.

Notes

At the bottom of each page of the informal assessment, there is a “Notes” field. This is where you can record any additional information about “Military Service” that you feel will be relevant for case management, including information that doesn’t directly relate to any of the questions asked earlier on the page. General information about the participant or family should still be captured using “PIN comments” or “Case Comments”.

Each time you visit the “Military Service” page, you will see whatever information was entered in the “Notes” field the last time the page was saved.

  • If you see information that is no longer relevant, you can delete it or – if needed – replace it with new information. Previously saved “Notes” will still be accessible through history for the “Military Service” page.
  • If the information you see is still relevant, you can leave the existing text in the “Notes” field and – if needed – add additional information.

To get a sense of when “Notes” were originally entered and updated, you can access history for the “Military Service” page via the “Informal Assessment Summary”.
