C.
Changes Reported After the Interview in the Initial Month, But Before
the Notice of Eligibility:
If a household voluntarily reports a change in income, ie. beginning a new job, before the case has been authorized in the initial month, it is required of the worker to determine if the reported change affects eligibility.
1. The household must be given 10 days to provide the income verification;
2. If the 10 day verification time frame expires within the 30 day application time frame and the verification is provided timely, benefits would be paid back to the date of the application;
3. If the 10 day verification time frame will cause the application to go past the 30 day application time frame and the client returns the verification within the 10 day time frame, benefits would be paid back to the application date;
4. If the household does not provide the verification within 10 days from the request for verification and the 30 day processing time frame has expired, the delay in processing would be the fault of the household and the household would lose its entitlement to benefits for the month of application;
5. If the income verification is received at any time in the second 30
days, the second month’s benefits would be prorated from the
date the household provides the verification.
