Tech Topic: Does Email Phishing Reel You in? By Dee Iglesias
In an age where e-mail reigns as the major form of communication, people are finding more creative ways to obtain your personal information. Technology evolves and so do the minds of those scheming email attacks. This is why many of us get hooked by “phishing” emails.
Webopedia defines Phishing as “the act of sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The e-mail directs the user to visit a Web site where they are asked to update personal information, such as passwords and credit card, social security, and bank account numbers, that the legitimate organization already has. The Web site, however, is bogus and set up only to steal the user’s information.”

Updating Income & Non-Cash Benefits Correctly in ServicePoint (TH & PSH Programs)
When a consumer has a change in their Monthly Income or Non-Cash Benefits, there is only one way to update that information in ServicePoint accurately. This of course depends on your program type. For ALL PSH and TH programs, you must make all updates using the Assessments tab in ServicePoint. After locating the Annual/End of Year assessments, you’ll of course need to backdate the Assessment Date to the date of the change.
For Monthly Income Updates:
The “Total Monthly Income” field must be updated to reflect the new income total. “Income received from any source in past 30 days” must be answered correctly: either “Yes”, or “No.” Because this is an update to a previous source of income (including No Financial Resources), you must enter an End Date for the income source that is no longer current. You do this by clicking the pencil next to that income source. You should never delete an income when it is no longer being received.
After entering the End Date, you’ll click Save and Add Another. When the blank “Monthly Income” screen appears, you can then enter the source and amount of the consumer’s current Source of Income. Clicking Save and Exit will update the Annual assessment and indicate a successful update to the client’s record.
