The client must complete the Interim Contact Report and return it to the local office or complete the interim contact report on the PATH public portal. 1.4.14.B Adjusting the Certification Period 1.4.14.B.1 Extending a Certification Period Once a 6-month certification period is established, the worker may extend it to a total of 24 months only when all adult AG members are elderly or disabled and the AG has no earnings or only excluded earnings. No certification period may exceed a total of 24 months. 1.4.14.B.2 Shortening a Certification Period Once a 24-month certification period is established, the Worker must shorten it in the following situations and advance notice must be given. • The AG has an onset of non-excluded earned income; • The AG is joined by an individual with non-excluded earned income; • The AG is joined by an adult who is not elderly or disabled. When the AG no longer qualifies for a 24-month certification period, the Worker must complete a redetermination when the advance notice period ends and assign a new certification period based on the AG’s current circumstances.
