West Virginia Income Maintenance Manual Page 63 Chapter 1 Application/Redetermination Process

Example 5: An AG composed of two elderly adults with earnings and one child is certified for 6 months. In the second month, the AG reports the loss of earned income. Because all of the adult AG members are elderly without earned income, the certification period must be extended to 24 months. The extended certification period starts the month the change is effective. Example 6: An AG with only excluded earnings is composed of two children and two disabled adults and is certified for 24 months. In the 19th month, the AG reports the onset of non-excluded earnings. The Worker must send the advance notice informing the household that a recertification interview is required. Upon completion of the interview and changes made for the current circumstances, their certification period is reset at 6 months. 1.4.15 REDETERMINATION Redetermination procedures follow the same procedures as an application. An interview is required unless it is completed by the Social Security Administration (SSA). When found eligible, the client’s new certification period is established based on the current household circumstances. 1.4.16 EXPEDITED PROCESSING Expedited Service is the term used for special procedures in processing applications meeting specific requirements. It is possible for a client to qualify for Expedited Service at any time during the application process. 1.4.16.A Eligibility Requirements The following groups of cases are eligible for Expedited Service if otherwise eligible. They are: • Those whose monthly gross income is less than $150 and whose liquid assets do not exceed $100.
