9061.3 Anticipated Changes

Because of anticipated changes, a household may be eligible for the month of application, but ineligible in the subsequent month. The household is entitled to benefits for the month of application even if the processing of its application results in the benefits being issued in the subsequent month. Similarly, a household may be ineligible for the month of application but eligible in a subsequent month due to anticipated changes in circumstances. Even though denied for the month of application, the household does not have to reapply in the subsequent month. Use the same application for the denial for the month of application and the determination of eligibility for subsequent months, with the timeliness standards in DSSM 9028 and DSSM 9039.
