Partner Referral Review

Staff workflow prototype

The referral is complete, required fields and all. The applicant's number is in the notes, not the contact fields.

The public partner referral step asks three required questions about the referring case manager before it asks anything about the applicant, and every applicant telephone number on it is optional. On R-1027 the Mobile Phone field carries the case manager's own number, Preferred Phone points at it, and the one number that would reach the applicant is written in the free text area. This desk reads what was submitted, separates what has to be asked of the partner from what has to be asked of the applicant, quotes the public rule that governs each question, and hands the file to a person. Where the simulation has added an income answer, it places that answer against the figures published for 2026 in code and says so, because the observed partner step asks nothing about money. It determines no eligibility, answers no legal question and contacts nobody.

Scenario date: September 15, 2026. Every date on this page and in every answer below is read against that date, not against the day you open it.

Measured here, end to end on one referral: run one and watch. That covers the documentary work before an intake worker picks the referral up. It makes no eligibility determination, accepts and declines nothing, and states no deadline.

1. Observed public material

The questions, options and branches read on the public partner referral step on 2026-09-15, each with its status: observed, partly observed, not accessible, or added. Nothing was submitted and nothing behind the Continue button was opened.

2. Simulation

Ten invented referrals, invented partners and case managers, and the invented internal policy of an invented program. Every clause of it is labelled simulation policy, not this organization's policy.

3. Public rules, verbatim

Selected sections of 45 CFR 1611, 1620 and 1626 and the 2026 income appendix, quoted verbatim from eCFR with the source and the date. A working selection, not the whole of any part. Real rules, never paraphrased, never attributed to the organization.

What this shows

The problem
A partner referral arrives with two people to contact and an incomplete picture. Somebody has to work out what is missing, who can answer it, what the public rules actually require, and what is reserved for a person, before an intake worker can pick it up.
The result
The run below is real and is recorded: the referral read field by field, the contact and income checks run in code, the questions split between the case manager and the applicant, the public rule quoted verbatim, and a handoff sheet that names every decision it does not take.
Where it sits
It prepares a staff handoff and hands over a sheet that can be copied out. Standalone demonstration. It connects to nothing, writes into nothing, and is not a form.
What is simulated, and what is not covered
The program, the ten referrals, the partners and the internal policy are invented, and that policy is one invented program's own, not anybody's law. The observed field dictionary is real and is marked field by field; the steps behind the Continue button were not opened and nothing is guessed about them. There is no scanned document and no optical character recognition here, no connection to any case management system, and no eligibility determination, no acceptance or refusal of representation, no legal advice, no conflicts check and no deadline. The tool layer refuses all of those, and refuses a figure that is not written in a section it was cited from.
What a pilot would need from your side
Your blank intake questions, the intake policy in whatever form it exists today, a short conversation with whoever runs intake, and counts rather than files: how many arrive by each route, how many need a second contact. Applicants are invented until your legal and security leads have agreed, in writing, which fields a pilot may see, who holds them, where they sit, how long they are kept and how they are deleted. No applicant record is needed to start, and removing names is not anonymisation.
