eligible at redetermination, Bridges assigns a new 12-month benefit period. Example: On August 7, 2022, Risa reports her husband returned to the group and he receives unemployment income. They are change reporters and have a 24-month benefit period with an end date of May 31, 2023. On August 17, 2022, the specialist processes the change, and the group becomes SR. Bridges issues a DHS-1605 which provides the simplified reporting requirements, and a DHS-1045. The end date remains May 31, 2023, since the group has less than 12 months remaining in their benefit period. SSI CASE ACTIONS
