2.10.6.6 Processing Subsequent Time Limit Extensions

After an initial 24-month placement time limit or 48-month state lifetime limit extension approval is granted, the W-2 agency can determine that a subsequent time limit extension period is necessary.

There is no limit to the number of subsequent time limit extensions a participant may receive.

The FEP Financial and Employment Planner must discuss the possibility of subsequent time limit extensions with the participant no later than the third month of the extension.

When determining eligibility for a subsequent time limit extension, the FEP must:

Complete the W-2 Agency Time Limit Extension Approval Record (5214) or the W-2 Agency Time Limit Extension Denial Record (5215) form that corresponds with the decision;

Provide the participant with a copy of the completed form;

Scan the completed form into ECF Electronic Case File ; and

Enter the extension decision into the Time Limit Tracking application no later than the month prior to the current time limit extension end month.

If the agency approves a subsequent extension, a participant’s activity assignment should reflect their assessment results, local labor market information, and anticipated time for the participant to be ready to work or referral to other programs.
