AThe Department shall exempt the assistance unit from the change reporting requirements in R6-12-901 during the three month Grant Diversion payment period.

BWhen the Department receives a request to add a member to the assistance unit during the three month Grant Diversion payment period, the Department shall comply with subsections (B)(1) through (B)(3).

1 The Department shall redetermine eligibility including the added member. The Department shall add the new member, effective the date the request is received, only when the assistance unit remains eligible.

2 When the assistance unit remains eligible, the Department shall add the new member, effective the date the Department receives the request to add the member, and recalculate the assistance unit's Grant Diversion benefit amount. The Department shall issue the assistance unit a supplemental payment when the amount of the recalculated cash benefit amount exceeds the amount of the cash benefit that was issued to the assistance unit. The supplemental payment shall be a prorated amount from the date the Department received the request to add the member through the end of the three-month Grant diversion payment period.

3 When the recalculated Grant Diversion cash benefit amount is less than the cash benefit that was issued to the assistance unit, the Department shall not add the member to the assistance unit and shall not write an overpayment.
