Once we have the existing file, we update any information such as dependents, what number of assistance they are receiving since they cannot exceed six, and if they have a change in address. All files are labeled with the first two letters of their last name. Once the files are updated, it goes to another worker who enters the information in the database and then to the caseworker.
