155 ADDITION OF AN INDIVIDUAL (FAM) |
____________________________________________________________
Determine eligibility when a new individual must be added to the case.
Process a request to add a new individual as if it were a new application for that person. A new Form 800* is not required.
Process the application within time frames, using the date of the request as the file date.
If the new individual is ineligible or does not provide enough information, follow the following steps:
Reason for Ineligibility |
Action |
Refuses or fails to provide required verification for an individual who must be included in the assistance group |
Terminate entire case |
Refuses or fails to provide required verification for an individual who may be included in the assistance group |
Deny the new member only |
Required verification is not available for the new member |
Deny the new member only |
New member does not meet the program criteria for inclusion in the assistance group |
Deny the new member only |
If the addition of a new individual is not reported within time frames, process a claim for overpayment if:
• the new individual must be included in the assistance group, and
• including the new individual would have decreased or terminated benefits.
