Section 441.76.16. Action on information received.

When a change in circumstance is reported, or when a change in a member’s circumstances otherwise comes to the attention of the department, its effect on eligibility shall be evaluated and eligibility shall be redetermined regardless of whether the report of change was required by rule 441—76.15(249A). When the department has information about an anticipated change in a member’s circumstances that may affect eligibility, eligibility will be redetermined at the appropriate time based on such change.

       76.16(1) After assistance has been approved, except as provided in subrule 76.13(1), action based on a change reported during a month shall be effective the first day of the next calendar month unless timely notice of adverse action is required as specified in 441—subrule 7.7(1).

       76.16(2) When a request is made to add a new person to the eligible group, and that person meets the eligibility requirements, assistance shall be effective the first day of the month in which the request was made unless otherwise specified at rule 441—76.12(249A).

       76.16(3) When the change creates ineligibility, eligibility under the current coverage group shall be canceled and an automatic redetermination of eligibility shall be completed in accordance with rule 441—76.17(249A).
