2.10.6.7 Reaching 24-Month and 48-Month Time Limits Concurrently

The FEP Financial and Employment Planner must determine eligibility for a 48-month state lifetime limit extension rather than a 24-month placement time limit extension if a participant is going to reach either of the following within six months prior to reaching the 48-month state lifetime limit:

Their 24th month in a TEMP Trial Employment Match Program , CSJ Community Service Job , or W-2 T W-2 Transition ; or

The end of a 24-month placement time limit extension.

The FEP must then enter the 48-month state lifetime limit extension into the Time Limit Tracking application before the participant reaches the end of their 24th month or the end of a 24-month placement time limit extension.

EXAMPLE : Mary will reach her 24th month in a CSJ on July 29. While reviewing Mary’s time limit history in preparation for a time limit discussion, her FEP sees that Mary will reach her 48th month of her state lifetime limit on October 31. Because Mary will reach 48 months three months after reaching her 24th month, the FEP determines eligibility for a 48-month state lifetime limit extension and enters the 48-month state lifetime limit extension approval by July 29. This extends both the 24-month placement time limit as well as the 48-month state lifetime limit. Any subsequent time limit extensions will be made to the 48-month state lifetime limit.
