MFIP: Notify the client of any effect of a change by the 1st month you can give proper notice, but no later than the 2nd month after the month in which you learned of the change. An overpayment or underpayment may occur even though you process a change within this time. See 0025.03 (Determining Incorrect Payment Amounts), 0025.09 (Correcting Underpayments), 0026 (Notices).

Determine overpayments when: ● The unit does not report the change timely. See 0007 (Reporting).

AND ● You would have been able to send proper notice if you had acted on the date the change occurred.

Whenever there is a change in a case involving a non custodial parent, MAXIS will notify the IV-D agency through the MAXIS/PRISM interface. See 0012.21.03 (Support From Non-Custodial Parents). MAXIS will report the following types of changes: ● A parent enters or leaves the child's home.
