Specialist, IRIS Eligibility Screening (Milwaukee County, WI)

Eligibility Screener

TMG is on the lookout for our next great Eligibility Screener! If you love doing meaningful work that helps others live their best lives, we want to hear from you!

We're currently in search for someone with a background in human services, social work, healthcare or case management to join our team. This is a remote position, where you will partner with people in your community who use the TMG IRIS Consultant Agency. While this role is home-based, you will spend most days visiting IRIS participants in their homes. While you'll have a routine for the work that you do, no two days are alike!

As an Eligibility Screener, you would be responsible for completing the Adult Long-Term Care Functional Screens (LTC-FS) for participants of the Wisconsin IRIS program – a Medicaid long-term care option for older adults and people with disabilities. The job includes completing annual rescreens and any change-in-condition screens using the Adult LTC-FS tool to ensure program eligibility. Successful candidates will be approachable, compassionate and respectful of people of all different backgrounds and abilities, and be able to see and articulate the strengths that people inherently have.

TMG is committed to maintaining a diverse and inclusive workforce, and prioritizes helping staff have a good work/life balance. Even though the position is remote, you'll have lots of support from your TMG team and coworkers across the organization. If this sounds like the job for you, apply today!
