Chapter 9 Redeterminations and Changes

9.1 Definition/Redeterminations A redetermination is a review of factors affecting eligibility and payment amount. Every TANF benefit group must have eligibility reestablished through an annual redetermination.

9.2 Redetermination Process Redeterminations will be selected annually by CHIP. An interview must be conducted for each BG once every 12 months in order to complete the redetermination process.

Annual Redetermination Actions The following describes actions required by the ES Worker on annual redeterminations:

1. The CHIP System generates a DSS Form 3807A, Notice of Expiration, to the client.

2. The client is required to complete and return the DSS Form 3807A to DSS by the specified due date (during month of redetermination).

NOTE: The client may come into the any county office, to complete a DSS Form 3807A, however, a DSS Form 3800 may be accepted in place of a 3807A.

3. When the DSS Form 3807A is received by DSS, the form will be registered in South Carolina Worker Input Network and Support (SCWINS) system and scanned into the Case Activity- Combo/TANF Annual Recertification/Redetermination folder.

4. Once the application is registered, the CHIP system will generate Interview Notice X095, TANF REDETERM/SNAP RECERT INTERVIEW, informing the client to call within 10 days.

5. A date set ten days out from the application file date will be automatically entered on CHIP INRD screen in the INTERVIEW DATE field. When the interview is conducted, the ES Worker should acknowledge the completion of the interview by coding CHIP INRD screen with a “Y” in the interview completed field and ensure the INTERVIEW DATE field reflects the actual date that the interview was completed.
