Certification periods shall conform to calendar months. At initial application, the first month in the certification period shall generally be the month of application, even if the household's eligibility is not determined until a subsequent month. For example, if a household files an application in January and the application is not processed until February, a 12-month certification period would include January through December. Upon recertification, the certification period will begin with the month following the last month of the previous certification period.
