INELIGIBILITY IN A PROSPECTIVE MONTH - CASH

0022.03.03

- If you are acting on the application in the 1st month, approve assistance for the 1st month, close for the 2nd month, and require the unit to reapply for any further benefits.

- If you are acting on the application in the 2nd month, deny assistance for the 1st and 2nd month. Require the unit to reapply for any further benefits.

- If you are acting on the application after the 2nd month, and the unit IS eligible on the date you are acting, approve assistance for the 1st month, close for the 2nd month, and approve for the 3rd and any subsequent months using the same CAF. Use prospective budgeting for the 1st month. Also use prospective budgeting for the 3rd and 4th months, since there has been a break in eligibility of 1 month.

- If you are acting on the application after the 2nd month, and the unit is NOT eligible on the date you are acting, DENY assistance for the 1st, 2nd, and subsequent months. Use the denial reason which you use for the 1st month for all subsequent months.

When you approve results in MAXIS, you will get a pop-up window for ineligible months asking if the case should be closed or suspended; "C" for close is the default. Remember that in the 2 initial months you MAY NOT SUSPEND and you MUST DENY or CLOSE, as noted in the above situations.

For suspension provisions for participants after the 1st 2 months of eligibility, see 0022.18 (Suspensions).

GRH: No provisions.
