• Explain the prohibited use of FIP to purchase lottery tickets, alcohol, tobacco, or for gambling, illegal activities, massage parlors, spas, tattoo shops, bail-bond agencies, adult entertainment, cruise ships, or other nonessential items. FAP TIMELY AND UNTIMELY FILING DATE FAP Only Timely Filing Date In order to receive uninterrupted benefits (benefits available on their scheduled issuance date), the client must file the redetermination through MI Bridges or file either a MDHHS-1010, Redetermination and MDHHS-1010-FAP, MDHHS-1171, Assistance Application and MDHHS-1171-FAP supplement, or a signed MDHHS-1010-FAP, FAP 1010 supplemental filing form, by the fifteenth of the redetermination month. Exception: If the group’s redetermination materials are mailed late, the timely filing date is 17 days after the materials are mailed. Example: Madison’s FAP redetermination is due in July. The redetermination materials are mailed July 6 with a due date of July 16 on the DHS-3503. Madison returns all necessary items needed to complete the review on July 20. The filing date is timely because the review materials were mailed late. The benefits must be available to Madison on the scheduled issuance date. When processing a redetermination for FAP and FIP, SDA, or MA, consider the FAP redetermination filed timely if it is filed timely for the other program; see FAP Client Failure to Meet Redetermination Requirements in this item. Untimely Filing Date FAP Only Any FAP redetermination form not submitted timely (see above) has the same processing timeframe as an initial application (30 days from the date the redetermination was filed); see FAP Client Failure to Meet Redetermination Requirements in this item.
