during the CE period. Although individuals are not required to apply for disability with SSA, SSA denials supersede MRT disability determination; these restrictions also apply to children under 18. See IHCPPM 2412.25.00 and 2412.50 for more information regarding SSA disability.

Questions regarding continuous eligibility periods should be submitted to PAL for review.

2238.25.00 REDETERMINATION 90-DAY EXTENSION FOR FAILURE TO VERIFY

If an AG is discontinued for failing to verify required information during the re-determination process, the DFR must timely consider eligibility without requiring the AG to submit a new application when the missing verification(s), which were the reason(s) for discontinuance, are received by DFR within 90 days after the AG had eligibility effectively discontinued.

If an AG is denied eligibility, this sub-section is inapplicable. If an AG is discontinued for failing to verify required information after a report of change has been received by DFR, this sub-section is inapplicable. If an AG is discontinued at point of redetermination for any reason(s) other than failing to verify required information, such as being over income, this subsection is inapplicable.

2239.00.00 CORRECTION OF LIABILITY (MED 1)

In specific circumstances, liability amounts which are higher than they should be, can be corrected to a lower amount by completing a liability override. Acceptable reasons to complete the override are as follows:

• Timely appeal filed after cut-off • Beneficial change timely reported and verified after cut-off • Agency error in calculation of spend-down or liability amount • Hearing decision decreased spend-down or liability amount • Court ordered decreased spend-down or liability amount

No other reasons are acceptable in using the liability override function. If a worker encounters a circumstance not listed above and feels the liability correction should be made, contact PAL.

2240.00.00 AG CHANGES ADDRESS

Moving to a new address in Indiana, in and of itself, does not cause ineligibility. A new living situation may trigger new elements to be verified; however, eligibility must not lapse while the systematic process of changing cases is completed.

2250.00.00 VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL FROM ASSISTANCE

A recipient may voluntarily withdraw from assistance at any time. The withdrawal may be made in writing or verbally.
