601.08.01 Determination within the PE Period

If a full determination is made and the applicant is eligible for full benefits, the applicant may terminate PE that day. A full application will be linked to a PE application if it is completed within the PE period, preventing any gaps in healthcare coverage.

For example, if the PE period lasts from January 1, 2014 to February 28, 2014 and the applicant submits their application on February 15, 2014, then the two applications will be linked.
