2230.00.00 ENTITLEMENT WITHOUT VERIFICATION OF DEDUCTIBLE EXPENSES (S)

If a deductible expense must be verified and the verification is not provided by the 30th day, eligibility and benefit level will be determined without providing a deduction for the claimed, but unverified, expense.

If, after entitlement, the AG provides the missing verification, the additional information will be processed as a change. 2232.00.00 TIMELY NOTICE OF ADVERSE ACTION

Recipients must be given 13 day advance written notice of any adverse action. (f13) 2232.05.00 EXCEPTIONS TO TIMELY NOTICE (S)

The following are the only reasons a case may be exempted from advance (13-day) notice of adverse action: • Mass changes: instructions for providing notice will always originate from the State level. • Reliable information received that: • All members of the AG died; • The AG has moved out of the state; or • The AG will move out of the state prior to their next scheduled issuance date. Notice of cancellation must be sent prior to the AG's next scheduled issuance date. • The AG chose to receive its restoration over several months, and the restoration is completed, IF the AG was notified in writing of when the restoration would be completed. • The AG's allotment varies within the certification period AND the AG was notified of the changes at the time of certification. • The AG’s TANF grant is added to the budget AND the AG was notified at the time of certification that its benefits would decrease when TANF was received. • An AG member is disqualified for IPV, and benefits of the remaining members are reduced. • Postponed verifications are not provided or are provided, and reduction/cancellation of benefits is appropriate. • The AG's allotment is reduced to make a claim repayment because the AG did not make the agreed upon repayment. 2232.15.00 EXCEPTIONS TO TIMELY NOTICE (C)

If the client wishes to waive the right to timely notice for a closure action taken after adverse, but prior to the recur date so that the discontinuance will be effective the first of the following month (often in cases where they wish to receive child support in the next month), the Voluntary Withdrawal Form (SF 50699/FI 0039) should be provided to the client to waive the 13-day notice. Upon receipt of the signed form by the agency, as long as it is prior to recur/cut-off, adverse action timely notice is not required.
