Adjusting Time Limit Tracking Codes When it is discovered that tracking codes are incorrect on FAIP/FAIH, the tracking code must be corrected for the appropriate months on the FITL screen.

A. When correcting time limit cases coded in error due to disability, the system should be adjusted (coded DI) back to the point in time that a disability was diagnosed or other exemption verified.

B. When an application is determined to be denied in error, the case should be reverted to open and benefits authorized from the date of application so that the tracking of months will be accurate.

C. If a client returns a check to be canceled, the month should be restored. Restoring a month of benefits on CHIP requires a tracking code be changed to "RM" on screen FITL.

10.6 Reapplication Due to Time Limit Exceptions Individuals who reapply for benefits after a termination of cash benefits due to the 24-month limit may be eligible to receive TANF cash benefits again by meeting and verifying one of the following exception reasons:

1. Disability An adult TANF Family member is determined to be mentally or physically disabled, and the disability is expected to last 90 days or more (FAIP code DI). This exception is effective at the point in time the disability was diagnosed. If more than one adult is in the TANF Family, code the other adult(s) AE-Adult in Exempt Household on FAIP unless he/she meets another exception reason. This also applies to a two-parent family with one SSI parent.
