Similarities

The ARCP screen is the same for a PCA and CFSS service agreement (SA).

Differences

There are no differences between a PCA and CFSS SA on the ARCP screen.

This page describes how to complete the ARCP screen for both PCA and CFSS.

The county/tribal nation and DHS use the ARCP screen to communicate with people who receive PCA/CFSS services. The county/tribal nation and DHS also use the ARCP screen for other services or programs. The county/tribal nation does not always use the ARCP screen.

Comments the county/tribal nation enters on the ARCP screen appear in the person’s SA letter. To add a comment to the provider’s SA letter, the county/tribal nation enters the comment on the APRV screen.

MMIS includes the following system constraints when the county/tribal nation enters comments:

In the RECIPIENT COMMENTS field, the county/tribal nation enters information about the assessment or SA to communicate to the person, including:

The county/tribal nation dates and initials all comments.

After the county/tribal nation enters comments, they press a transmit key to return to the ASA1 screen (the first screen in the type B SA queue) to finalize the SA.
