CDC Only For CDC when a foster child is adopted by the child's current foster parents during the 12-month continuous eligibility period, CDC should remain open until redetermination with no negative action taken on the CDC EDG. Assistance from the Bridges Resource Center (BRC) is required. During 12-month continuous eligibility, complete a case correction, including those constituting negative actions, when initial eligibility or redetermination was completed in error or when it is discovered that inaccurate information was provided by the applicant. Notice Reasons All Programs The notice reason(s) in Bridges indicates the reason for the action. NEGATIVE ACTION DATE Bridges automatically calculates the negative action effective date. The negative action effective date in Bridges is the day after the timely hearing request date on the Bridges notice of case action. Timely Hearing Request Date The timely hearing request date is the last date on which a client can request a hearing and have benefits continued or restored pending the hearing. It is always the day before the negative action is effective. Immediate Negative Actions (Adequate Notice) An immediate negative action occurs when the negative action requires adequate notice based on the eligibility rules in this item. Adequate notice means that the action taken by the department is effective on the date taken. Exception: For CDC adequate notice means that the action taken by the department is effective on the date of the Circumstance Start/Change Date (CSCD).
