The "10-10-10 Rule" means:

The recipient has ten days from the date they become aware of a change to report that change to the county agency.

The county agency has ten days in which to act on a reported change.

The county agency must allow ten days for an advance notice before any adverse action can be taken on a case (unless the change is one of the exceptions to the Ten-Day Advance Notice).

The purpose of the 10-10-10 rule is to describe the Medicaid unit's responsibility to report changes and to determine when the county agency can or cannot act on changes. It can, and should be, used as a caseload management tool.
