What a Client Must Do

A case not enrolled in Mid-Point Reporting (MPR) must report any change within 10 calendar days of the change. This also applies to the person who handles the income and assets of a client in an LTC or SLF. The change may be reported by phone, in person, or by mail.

A TANF family in Mid-Point Reporting is required to report changes on the interim report form and at the annual REDE.

NOTE: For medical program purposes for adults, changes must be reported within 10 days. For medical programs for children, other than for situations listed in PM 18-05-01 , an increase in income does not have to be reported until the annual REDE/renewal.

The client must cooperate in providing proof of the change when needed.

The client has the right to file a written request for increased benefits or special payments. In some cases, a written request may be required to qualify for an increase in benefits. For more information on when a written request is required for cash and medical, see PM 18 Changes.
