E.1.a. Purpose of Corporate Flashes
Corporate flashes are claimant -specific indicators that represent an attribute, fact, or status that may occasionally change. A corporate flash can either be automatically generated by the system, or managed manually by a user. Available corporate flashes not generated by the system must be identified and updated when applicable. Flashes will exist on a claimant's record until the flash is manually removed. Regional Offices (ROs) are responsible for
- identifying claimants' records that require flashes
- inputting the flashes when required, and
- removing the flash when it no longer applies or is erroneously applied.
Example: The Homeless corporate flash should be applied when the claimant is homeless, and removed when the scenario changes.
