C. Determining New Eligibility Period
An eligibility redetermination is required at the end of the current eligibility period. After the eligibility redetermination has been completed and if the recipient is determined eligible for a new eligibility period, the new eligibility period will begin the date following the end of the previous eligibility period. Recipients with a child turning 13 or 18 (child with special needs) years of age within 23 months of the current eligibility determination, shall have their final eligibility period extended beyond the 12 months. The recipient’s eligibility period will be extended to coincide with the month the child turns 13 or 18 years of age.
