02/17 DEPARTMENT FOR AGING AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES AUXILIARY GRANT PROGRAM NON-SSI CONDITIONAL BENEFITS CHAPTER F, PAGE 13 7. Payment Period Conditional benefits are paid only for full calendar months. Thus:  the first month of a payment period is the month after the month in which the disposal/exclusion period begins; and  The last month of a payment period is the month in which the disposal /exclusion period ends. Note: If the required advance notices period extends into the month following the month the disposal period ends, Conditional Benefits are issued for that month. That month is included in the computation of the Conditional Benefits overpayment. EXAMPLE: Mr. Jones' disposal/exclusion period for his second car begins on May 12 when Mr. Jones receives written notice that his agreement to sell is in effect. He sells the car on July 20 which ends the disposal/ exclusion period. He is eligible for conditional benefits for June and July, the 2 full months whose first moments fall within the disposal/exclusion period. If no sale had occurred, the basic period would have ended on August 11, and he could have received conditional benefits for the 3 months of June, July and August assuming no extension of the disposal/exclusion period for good cause was granted. 8.
