CDC FAULT DETERMINATION For pending CDC expedited service applications, determination of fault must be made on the seventh day, after the date of application. The CDC group is at fault when all required actions have been taken, but the CDC group has not taken one or more of the following actions: • Completed the application form. • Provided verification of identity. • Completed an interview. If the CDC group is at fault, answer “yes” to the “Extend SOP due to group at fault” question on the Program Request-Details screen. This prevents the registration from being overdue on worker regis- tration reports and extends the standard of promptness to 30 days following the date of application. BENEFIT PERIODS CDC expedited service approval results in a 45-day presumptive eligibility period. Benefits are approved during this timeframe based on client statement for any eligibility criteria that has not been verified (at eligibility determination). Once all verifications have been received, certify the eligibility based on CDC eligibility policy. The 12-month continuous eligibility period begins upon an approval certification. Note: If the eligibility determination for the 12-month continuous eligibility period results in a reduction in benefits from the presumptive eligibility, this is not considered a negative action. SUBSEQUENT BENEFITS If waived verifications/actions are not met by the end of the 45-day presumptive eligibility period, take the required actions in Bridges timely to close the ongoing CDC benefits. Benefits issued for these children prior to receiving all verifications shall not be considered an error or improper payment, even if verifications are not received or the group is determined ineligible once verifications are received.
