This task is used to approve all Annual Recertifications that have been certified. The task is only available when the Approval Process has been activated for one or more Funding Program Groups of any community on the Community Detail > Program Info tab by selecting ”Approval Required” in the Annual Recertification data window. Once this Approval Required parameter is selected, a request for approval will be created once a household’s annual recertification has been created. While a certification is in the Approve Certification Activity pending approval, the certification will not be available for signature.
