Illinois Administrative Code › Title 89 - SOCIAL SERVICES › Part 112 - TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES › Subpart I - OTHER PROVISIONS › Section 112.302 - Reporting Requirements for Clients with Earnings

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) All assistance units that contain a member
				with budgetable earnings must submit a written redetermination form to the
				Department every 12 months. In the 5th month between
				redeterminations, the client will be sent an interim report form. The client is
				required to complete, sign and return the interim report by the due date on the
				form. Clients with budgetable earnings must report all changes at
				redetermination and at the time of the interim report.
b) All units that contain a member with
				budgetable earnings shall have benefits calculated for 12 months by considering
				income and attendant circumstances on a prospective basis.
c) Earnings shall be budgeted prospectively
				based on the redetermination form or interim report. Income averaging will be
				used to determine the amount of income to budget.
d) Clients who experience an increase in
				income above the amount anticipated will not be referred for an overpayment
				based on the increased income.
e)
				At intake, the actual amount of income received in the Initial Prorated
				Entitlement (IPE) period will be used to determine the IPE amount. The first
				regular roll payment amount will be computed using income averaging.
f) When the redetermination or interim report
				has been completed, the Department will determine if eligibility continues and
				process any adjustments to the payment. The Department will notify the
				caretaker relative of any changes in the payment and the reason or reasons for
				the change.
g) If the Department
				does not receive the redetermination or interim report form or receives only an
				incomplete redetermination or interim report form, cash assistance may be
				terminated. If the form is incomplete, the Department will send the client a
				notice advising of the incomplete form and that the client has 10 days to
				complete the form. If the family is found ineligible or eligible for a grant
				less than that of the prior month, the Department will promptly notify the
				client of the right to a fair hearing and the right to have assistance
				reinstated. If a hearing is requested on or before the date of change or within
				ten calendar days after the date of notice, whichever is later, assistance will
				be reinstated to the level of the prior month.
h) All reported changes will be acted upon.
				Changes reported on the interim report will be effective the month following
				the month the report is due. For changes reported other than at redetermination
				or on the interim report, if the change results in an increase in benefits, the
				increase will be effective for the month following the month the change is
				reported. If the change results in a decrease in benefits, the decrease will be
				effective the first month that can be affected following the end of the 10-day
				timely notice period.
