Periodic Data Matching

- There are two PDM reports available:

- PDM Projected Eligibility Report – this report was sent to your County’s health care liaison on Friday 8/10/18 and lists the individuals that were identified as having discrepancies for the September PDM month
- PDM videoconference recording from 8/2/18 is available on SIR under the Meeting Videos Archive section
- The Field Test Assessment Group, comprised of 8 counties, DHS and MNIT staff, has been meeting regularly with Anoka County serving as the point of contact
The METS system will be unavailable Friday, August 17th beginning at 10:00pm through Monday, August 20th at 4:00am in order to migrate the database to its new hardware platform.
