INCOME AT APPLICATION |
|
|
|
Income in
application month Base the eligibility and benefit level for the AU that is submitting
an initial application on its circumstances for the entire calendar month in
which the application is filed. Use
the income received by the AU members during the application month (i.e.,
income already received by the day of application plus any that is
anticipated, with reasonable certainty, to be received in that month) to
determine initial eligibility and benefit level. If the AU’s income is averaged, use the
averaged amount for each month of the certification period, including the
application month. Effects of Changes During the
Application Processing Period An AU may be eligible in the application month based on circumstances
existing in that month, but ineligible in the subsequent month because of
changes which occur. The AU is
entitled to benefits for the application month even when the processing of
the application results in benefits not being paid in subsequent months. An AU may be ineligible in the application
month based on circumstances in that month, but eligible in the subsequent
month because of changes which occur.
A new application is not required; however the initial application
must be denied for the application month and approved for subsequent months. |
