• The previously ineligible spouse is added to the AG; and • The AG is closed after proper notice and is reopened with a new POC. The new POC must not cover any period of time in which the AG was in a POE; and • The AG must be supplied with proper notice about the spenddown and the procedures which now apply. If the eligible spouse had a spenddown which was met and is currently in an active AG, the following actions are taken: • Add the previously ineligible spouse to the AG for the current POC. The AG is not closed prior to the end of the current POC due to increased countable income. • When the AG reapplies for a new POC, all income is counted, and appropriate spenddown procedures apply. If the spouse is determined ineligible, the Worker sends the recipient a denial notice. The Worker must update the eligibility system and make a recording in case comments about the denial.
