(Revised 11/1/11 ML #3295)
When a case closes for no review and the review form is submitted in the month following the case closure, if all gross income from a specific source is available for the month the review form is submitted, the income reflects a full month's income and the caretaker does not anticipate any changes, that income must be verified.
- If the caretaker provides the verification in the allotted timeframe, that income must be used for all months of the new certification period.
- If the caretaker does not provide the verification in the allotted timeframe, the review, which is used as an application, must be denied.
If all gross income from a specific source is not available for the month the review form is submitted, the income from the specific source for the month prior to the month the review form is submitted must be obtained. If that income reflects next month’s income and the caretaker does not anticipate any changes, that income must be verified.
- If the caretaker provides the verification in the allotted timeframe, that income must be used for all months of the new certification period.
- If the caretaker does not provide the verification in the allotted timeframe, the review, which is used as an application, must be denied.
If the caretaker does not anticipate the gross income from the prior month or month the review was received to be reflective of the next month’s income, the caretaker must provide verification of anticipated income for the next month and that income must be used for all months of the certificate period.
- If the caretaker provides the verification in the allotted timeframe, that income must be used for all months of the new certification period.
- If the caretaker does not provide the verification in the allotted timeframe, the review, which is used as an application, must be denied.
If the caretaker does not anticipate the gross income from a specific source for the month prior to the month the review form was received, the month the review form was received, or the month following the month the review form was received to be reflective of the monthly income for the certificate period, the caretaker must provide verification of what the monthly income will be for the new certificate period.
- If the caretaker provides the verification in the allotted timeframe, that income is used for all months of the certification period.
- If the caretaker does not provide the verification in the allotted timeframe, the review, which is used as an application, must be denied.
