Effective immediately, the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration is suspending development on the FSSA Enrollment and Credentialing (EnCred) system. The agency will take time over the next few months to identify next steps and a path forward. We remain committed to delivering on the requirements of House Enrolled Act 1007-2018, which mandates a centralized credentialing process. Our work to this point will help us deliver on that and inform the direction we take. Future updates will be provided.
