001.02(A) APPLICATION TIMEFRAME.

An application will be considered as an application for recertification if it is received within the 60 days before the last day of a certification period, or within 30 days after the last day of the certification period. The last day of a certification period is day 1 when counting back 60 days. Applications received before the 60 day timeframe will not be considered recertification applications but they will be reviewed for actionable changes. Applications received within 30 days after the last day of the certification period are considered late recertifications and are eligible for expedited service.
