137 ADVANCE NOTICE PERIOD (ANP) (MAM)

____________________________________________________________

Notify individuals in advance of termination of assistance, a decrease in the level of eligibility, or a change in eligibility. The time frame between the date the NOD is generated and the date the action actually takes effect is called the advance notice period (ANP).

Exception: An advance notice period applies when positive and negative changes occur at the same time and result in a negative action .

The standard ANP is 10 calendar days. Under some circumstances the ANP is not required, is reduced to 5 calendar days, or is increased to 30 days.

Terminations are effective on the day the ANP expires. Decreases in eligibility level are effective the day after the ANP expires.
