Welfare Management System (WMS)
Welfare Management System (WMS), which was built in the 1970s, was the first Medicaid eligibility system in New York. WMS is the eligibility system currently used by the Local Departments of Social Services/Human Resources Administration to manage their cases. Eventually, the goal of New York State is for all cases held in the WMS eligibility system to be eventually moved into the MECM eligibility system.
