the same purpose and follow the same pattern as the 12- and 24-month evaluations. The 36- month meeting must also include the CSM or his designee. 18.7.8.D 48-Month PSSE An additional face-to-face evaluation or Supervisor/Case Manager meeting to review the case must be completed after the participant has received WV WORKS for 48 months. This evaluation must occur during the 48th or 49th month of receipt. It follows the same pattern as the 36-month evaluation. 18.7.8.E PSSE Exceptions When an AG is receiving Employment Assistance Program (EAP), the 12/24/36/48-month evaluations are not required as long as the participant remains employed. When an AG is closed prior to the 12th, 24th, 36th or 48th month and reapplies in the month an evaluation would normally be due, the evaluation is not completed prior to approval. Instead, the AG will be evaluated at the next scheduled interval that is three or more months in the future. This also applies when the AG is closed in the 12th, 24th, 36th or 48th month before the evaluation takes place. The Supervisor may decide on a case-by-case basis that the evaluation that is due in the month of application or within three months of that date needs to be completed. PSSE Exception Example 1: An AG is closed effective August when the father finds full-time employment. He gets laid off at the end of September and reapplies for WV WORKS in October. The AG is due for a 24-month evaluation in October, but it is postponed until the 36th month because it is the next evaluation interval that is three or more months ahead. PSSE Exception Example 2: An AG is due for its 48-month evaluation in November 2016, but the AG is closed effective November before the evaluation takes place. The AG reapplies in February 2017. The Case Manager does not back up and complete the missed 48-month evaluation. Instead, the 55th month NOTE: When a parent included in the AG resides with a non-recipient Work-Eligible Individual, both must attend the 12th, 24th, 36th, and 48th month evaluation meetings.
