Approve & Renew eForms

Approve eForms

Enrollment information is not updated in Minute Menu HX until you approve and renew enrollments on the Approve & Renew page. This allows you to control when HX is updated. However, remember that children updated with a future enrollment date may be disallowed from the current claim.

In most cases, it is better to wait until the current claim is processed before renewing enrollments in HX. For example,  if your new enrollment start date is 10/1, you should wait until the September claim is processed before renewing enrollments in HX.

When you have forms ready to review, a notification displays in the top-right corner of the page over the bell icon. The example below shows a notification the provider has approved and submitted forms for you to approve and renew.

You can approve and renew forms at the same time, or you can approve and renew the forms as two completely separate steps. Each step is described  below:

• Approve: Review forms and check for errors. For example, check numbers for categorically eligible forms, verify parent signatures, review changes, compare last year's information with the updated information, and so on.

• Renew: Once you approve the forms, renew them. This updates the data in Minute Menu HX. Remember to keep timing in mind for this step.

• Approve and Renew: Approve and renew forms in one step.

Before Renewing Forms

Before you renew forms and update data in HX: 

• Review and approve forms.

• Verify that the new dates will not cause disallowances on the current claim.

• Verify that you have added your signature to KidKare. For more information, see Add a Signature for eForms.
