4.5.3.D.3 Supplemental CSI If the client did not receive a CSI payment for the month they were eligible for such payment, a supplemental CSI payment is required. All supplemental CSI payments require written approval from the Division of Family Assistance (DFA) Family Support Policy Unit. The following information must be provided to the DFA Family Support Policy Unit: • Case number • Case name • The month in question • A brief explanation of why the client should have received a CSI payment After approval is received from the DFA Family Support Policy Unit, eligibility system staff will evaluate the reported problem and advise the local office of any required action. No approval will be granted unless this process is used. In addition, eligibility system staff consult with the BCSE State Office staff to correct sequence number mismatches. Adverse action notice requirements do not apply when a CSI will not be paid. However, they do apply when receipt of the CSI affects another benefit. 4.5.3.D.4 CSI Payments After WV WORKS Closure When a WV WORKS case is closed, and child support is received by the BCSE in the effective month of closure, a CSI is issued in the month after closure for the child support received in the effective month of closure. CSI Payment After Closure Example: A WV WORKS AG is closed effective August for excessive earned income. The last month of receipt of a WV WORKS benefit is August, and child support is received by the BCSE in August. A $25 CSI is issued in September for August. EXCEPTION: The Worker may issue a supplemental CSI payment without prior approval only when the case number is written to the CSI Payments Not Issued Report.
