C. The State will submit to FNS for renewal every two years, the ‘‘waiver’’ to require certified benefit groups to report new employment within 10 days from the start of the new employment. D. The State will submit to FNS for renewal every two years, the ‘‘waiver’’ to require certified benefit groups that are not subject to the mailed recertification process to report a change in source of unearned income from private sources and changes in the amount of unearned income from private sources of greater than $100 within 10 days of the date the change becomes known to the benefit group.
