INTERIM REPORTS

NOTE: Effective January 2018, a transition from Simplified Reporting (SR) to Change Reporting requirements for all households began. During this transition, certification periods were limited to either 6 or 12 months for most households, thereby eliminating the need for households to submit Interim Reports. SR households certified prior to January 2018 remain under SR rules and subject to Interim Reporting until recertification, when certification periods will be adjusted to either 6 or 12 months. Once all recipient households become subject to Change Reporting requirements, Interim Reporting will be discontinued. Interim reports will be issued to all TANF households at the midway point of the review period. These reports will require households to provide information on changes in household circumstances during the first half of the review period. Upon return of the interim reports, caseworkers will process the reports and take action to affect case changes as needed. Households with 12 month review periods will be required to return interim reports by the 6th month of the review period. The interim report will be mailed to the household on the 22nd day of the 5th month of the review period. Issuance of interim reports will be documented on the Notice History (NOHS) screen in MAVERICS. Information to be reported and verified includes changes in income, household size, and any changes in countable resources for households containing certain disqualified members (drug felons or persons sanctioned for Intentional Program Violation - IPV). Any changes in resources for such households must be reported and verified. Should the household report the addition of a household member to be included in the case, the name, relationship, social security number, date of birth, declaration of citizenship, and date the new person was added to the household must be noted on the form. If all necessary information is provided on the interim report, use of the 900 supplement form to add a person to the case will not be necessary. Interim Report Registration Upon receipt of the household s interim report, workers will register the report through the Interim Report Registration (INRR) screen in MAVERICS. This screen will allow workers to register up to sixteen (16) interim reports at a time by entering the date the report was received and the case number. Based on the status of the received interim reports, workers will process the changes or notify the household of further information or verification required. Interim reports should be scanned to the Interim Report folder in Interwoven/Worksite. Complete Interim Reports Volume III | Chapter 6
