9/11/25 - Upcoming WINNIE Availability and Mobile Management Update
A Mobile Management update will be installed this weekend. Beginning 8:00 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12 through 7:00 a.m. Monday, Sept. 15, all WINNIE environments (Clinic, Training, Mobile Management, and Infoview) will be UNAVAILABLE.
Overview
This Mobile Management update includes the following two changes:
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) required after login
Beginning Monday, Sept. 15, as a new security measure, Mobile Management users will be required to enter an MFA code each time they log in. The green MFA message will display after each login.
The MFA code will be sent to the same email associated with your WINNIE login. You should receive the MFA code relatively quickly in your email. The code is valid for 15 minutes.
Enter the MFA code and click the OK button. You can click the Resend Code link if the code is no longer valid once entered.
The Mobile Management and Contact Us Overview (PDF) document has been updated to reflect this change.
Browser tab name updated

8/21/25 - Food Support Changing to SNAP in WINNIE
As of August 25, “Food Support” will be renamed “SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)” in the income Adjunctive Eligibility - Program dropdown in WINNIE.
Historically, this program was known as Food Stamps or Food Support and this change aligns WINNIE with the actual name used in Minnesota and across the country. All historical records where “Food Support” was previously selected will automatically update to the changed name.
