HNOI Status & Issues with Automated Emails

We apologize for continued technical difficulties regarding Homemaker Notice of Intent (HNOI) applications on the website at http://noi.800ageinfo.com.

Users at Providers and ASAPs have been receiving many automated emails in recent days, as a result of some administrative actions on NOI applications at EOEA, and also due to some technical defects on the website.

In most cases, these emails may be safely ignored.
