27.1 Changes Reporting During the Application Processing Period

Contents

  1. 27.1.1 Multiple Application Submission

For applications, changes that occur between the filing date and confirmation date must be reported and considered in the eligibility determination. Changes that are reported after certification must be acted on in the same manner as any other reported change.

27.1.1 Multiple Application Submission

When an applicant submits more than one application within the same application filing period, the earliest received application establishes the filing date. However, the information from the latest received application must be used in the eligibility determination since that is the most current information reported by the household.

Example 1 Charlie applies for health care on June 15. Charlie moves from Superior to Green Bay on June 20. Charlie applies for health care again on June 21, because Charlie didn’t know a new application was not needed. The filing date for Charlie’s health care request is June 15. Some information from the June 15 application might be valid, but information from Charlie’s more recent June 21 application must be used in Charlie’s eligibility determination, contact details, and agency administration.

The application processing timeline is based on the established filing date from the earliest received application (see Section 25.7 Application Processing Time Frame).
