Upon certification, Bridges will generate a DHS-1605, explaining benefit denials or reductions. Restoring Benefits In multiple-member RCA groups, after the minimum disqualification period is served, restore RCA benefits effective the first pay period in the month following the minimum disqualification period. For sin- gle-member RCA groups follow standard application procedures. Restore FAP benefits according to policy in BEM 233B. RCA Closure Effects When RCA closes for reasons unrelated to employment require- ments, an ongoing disqualification may or may not be affected. A three-month or six-month minimum disqualification period that has not expired continues during closure if:  The period expires during the closure, the disqualification ends.  The period has not expired when the case reopens. To regain eligibility, the disqualified person must serve the remain- der of the period and then comply. Disqualifications are consecutive (not concurrent), despite case closing and reopening or transfer to a different RCA eligible group. Process FAP according to BEM 233B. LEGAL BASE 45 CFR 400.82
