Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:87-6.3

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) Eligibility for recertification shall be determined by circumstances anticipated for the certification period beginning with the month following the expiration of the current certification period. The level of benefits for recertification shall be based on the same anticipated circumstances.

(b) If an application for recertification is submitted after the household's certification period has expired, that application shall be considered an initial application and benefits for that month shall be prorated in accordance with 10:87-6.2(c).

1. If the household submits an application for recertification before the end of its certification period but is found ineligible for the first month following the end of that period, then the first month of any subsequent participation shall be considered an initial month.

2. Conversely, if the household submits an application for recertification prior to the end of its certification period and is found eligible for the first month following the end of the certification period, then that month shall not be an initial month for that household.

3. If the household contains a member who is a migrant or seasonal farmworker, the household's allotment shall not be prorated, if the household participated in the Program within 30 days prior to the date of the application.

(c) Any household that receives a notice at the time of certification, as discussed in 10:87-9.1(a), shall not be subject to proration for the first month of its certification period if the deadline for filing for recertification falls after the end of its current certification period. However, households found ineligible for the first month following the end of their certification shall have the first month of any subsequent participation considered an initial month.

(d) For all households that the CWA elects the time frame for providing missing verification, as outlined at 10:87-2.19 through 2.24, and the end of the time frame falls after the end of that household's current certification period, the household shall not be subject to proration for the first month following the end of its current certification period, if it has provided the missing verification and is otherwise eligible.
