Official source

It is important for redeterminations to be completed in a timely manner to prevent overdue cases. Since a recipient’s eligibility does not expire, benefits continue until the agency completes the review and an eligibility decision is made to either approve or terminate coverage. A review becomes overdue when more than 12 months have passed since the last eligibility determination. It is the responsibility of regional office staff to ensure reviews are processed timely. When to Begin Processing a Review It is permissible to begin the review process as early as the 10th month of a 12- month eligibility period or no more than 2 months early. However, to ensure timeliness, the review process must begin no later than the month prior to the review month. This means for a case with a review due date of August, the redetermination process may begin as early as June but must begin no later than July.
