Step by step

  1. Mark each layer favorable, pending, adverse, or unknown and name its owner.
  2. Ask the support coordinator or intake owner to reconcile every open dependency.
  3. Do not mark service complete until operational readiness, schedule, and actual start are confirmed.

Expected next

A reconciled status, named dependency, plan event, authorization, operational step, or actual start.

Save this proof

Every determination, assessment, list, enrollment, plan, authorization, response, schedule, and date.

If this stalls or the answer is no

Ask the MCO or LTSS Help Desk to identify the exact open layer, owner, required evidence, and next event.
