         <title> New Features Released (2Q 2016)</title>
         <description>&lt;p style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: transparent;"&gt;We've added a few new features:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol dir="ltr"&gt;
	&lt;li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Referral comments&lt;/strong&gt; - When referring a client the users performing the referral can now add a comment. The program manager processing the referral can use this information during the enrollment process.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Add/Delete Documents&lt;/strong&gt; - Documents can be added and deleted from an enrollment. For example during program enrollment all language versions of documents are populated to a case. A case worker can now removed unneeded documents that have languages that do not pertain to the case. Caseworkers can also add a document if they need and extra copy of a document for whatever reason. This puts your agency another step closer to full electronic case management.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.38; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Language levels&lt;/strong&gt; - There is now an unknown option for language comprehension level.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.38; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.38; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 1.38; font-size: 14.6667px; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Case Contact &lt;/strong&gt;- There is now select a county when creating contact information for a case. While working on adding county we went ahead and added the contact screen as part of the case creation wizard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 1.38; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arrival Report&lt;/strong&gt; - On the Arrival report there is now an extra option on the arrival status named Enrollment, this means you can filter the arrival report based on the date someone was enrolled into a program. This helps programs that a downstream from R&amp;P to see when a case was enrolled in the program they manage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 1.38; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assurance Date &lt;/strong&gt;- There is now an optional assurance date that can be populated as part of the case data.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Release First Payment when creating a recurring expense&lt;/strong&gt; - when creating a recurring expense the first payment was already released into the approval process, we've added a checkbox in the event that the requestor doesn't want to released that first expense just yet.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.38; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dashboard &lt;/strong&gt;- We've also release an Alpha version of our new dashboard.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: center; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.6667px; line-height: 1.38; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;img alt="refugee management system dashboard" src="/__media/Screen Shot 2016-05-30 at 4.55.16 PM.png" style="width: 600px; height: 232px;" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="list-style-type: disc; font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; margin-left: 48px; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>What benefits do refugees receive?</title>
         <description>&lt;div class="subscriber-preview" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;
&lt;p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px;"&gt;When refugees arrive, they receive assistance — such as spending money, medical care and assistance paying rent — while they get on their feet. The goal is to help newcomers find jobs as quickly as possible so they can become self-sufficient. The affiliate receives federal money to provide services. “The accountability of this money is extremely tight,” Rwasama said. The &lt;a href="http://refugeecenter.csi.edu/"&gt;CSI Refugee Center&lt;/a&gt; went through five audits by different groups in the past year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://magicvalley.com/news/local/what-benefits-do-refugees-receive/article_f7576849-22cc-5435-a563-027aa1deea5d.html"&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Make your audits of refugee resettlement case management easier using Refugee Solution. We can manage your case expenses and provide a level of approval that works for your affiliate.&lt;/p&gt;

         <title>Refugees are safer than peanuts</title>
         <description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;John Oliver proves that refugees are safer than peanuts but his handlers aren't smart enough to&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_OrYjKERxQ"&gt; permit embedding so here is the link.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;For those of you that like ebmedding here is the daily show. Same subject.&lt;/div&gt;

         <title>Dynamic Case Note Templates</title>
         <description>&lt;div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; line-height: normal;"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;RMS just keeps getting better. We now support the ability to have variable in your case note templates. Let's say that you have a case note that you want some bio data of the case to be automatically placed into the case when it is created by the caseworker. You can easily edit your case note template and insert one of the below variables and when the case note is created that value of that case's bio data will be placed into the case note.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Current list of variables for dynamic case notes:&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[firstName]&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[lastName]&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[fullName]&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[caseSize]&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[&lt;span class="il"&gt;nativeLanguage&lt;/span&gt;]&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[nationality]&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[caseNumber]&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[alienNumber]&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[address]&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;[dateOfArrival]&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;This helps eliminate typos and provides consistent case notes.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Static case note:&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/__media/static_Case_note.png" style="width: 400px; height: 439px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Dynamic case note template:&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/__media/dynamic_case_note.png" style="width: 400px; height: 435px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid;" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

         <description>&lt;p&gt;Refugee Solution's RMS, the most advanced Refugee Case Management System, now will help your agency keep track of who has received a mandatory health screening.

This saves time in manual tracking and report creation.&lt;span style="line-height: 1.6em;"&gt;Our partner agencies keep advising us how we can help agencies. Let us help your agency join the 21st century today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
