Households must report mandatory changes by the 10th day of the month following the month of the change.

 

Mandatory Reportable Changes

Certified households are responsible to report the following changes:

  1. Source of income.

If the household reports and provides their first paycheck and the check reflects the hourly rate of pay, pay dates, date of employment and hours worked, no additional verification is needed.  If a paycheck does not reflect the hours for a full pay period, the worker can use the client’s statement, if it is not questionable.  

 

If the paycheck does not contain the required information, the worker must obtain further information before acting on the change.  

  1. Amount of gross monthly unearned income exceeding $50.

Exception:

TANF grant changes. It is the worker’s responsibility to be aware of and act on TANF grant changes.

  1. Amount of gross monthly earned income of more than $100.
  2. Household composition - The addition of a new member or if a member leaves.
  3. Residence and the resulting change in shelter costs.
