§ 3042.147. Presumptive continued eligibility at redetermination.
(a) The eligibility agency may grant a temporary period of presumptive continued eligibility to a parent or caretaker at redetermination for a period not to exceed 92 calendar days from the date of the redetermination.
(b) For a parent or caretaker to be granted a period of presumptive continued eligibility at redetermination, the parent or caretaker shall submit verification of work, education or training that satisfies the work-hour requirement as specified in § 3042.33 (relating to work, education and training) that is set to begin prior to the expiration of the temporary 92-day period specified in subsection (a), unless the provisions in § 3042.146 (relating to homelessness) apply.
(c) Prior to the expiration of the temporary 92-day period of presumptive continued eligibility, the eligibility agency will verify the parent or caretaker has begun work, education or training and is in compliance with the work-hour requirement specified in § 3042.33.
(d) If the parent or caretaker has not begun work, education or training as specified in subsection (b), or is otherwise determined ineligible prior to the expiration of the 92-day period, the eligibility agency shall take the necessary steps to terminate the temporary eligibility with proper notification to the family as specified in § 3042.155 (relating to notice of adverse action).
(e) If a family is determined ineligible at any time during a temporary period of presumptive continued eligibility, services received during the 92-day period are not considered an error or improper payment. The eligibility agency will pay the amount owed to a child care provider for services provided during the temporary period of presumptive continued eligibility.
(f) At the end of a 92-day temporary period of presumptive continued eligibility, the eligibility agency will complete a redetermination to establish the 12-month eligibility period and reset the redetermination due date.
