18 Miss. Code. R. 14-32.5 - Changes Resulting in an Increase in Benefits
A. When
benefits are increased due to an additional household member or due to a
decrease of $50 or more in the monthly gross income, the change must be
effective no later than the month following the month the change is reported to
MDHS.
B. For changes not described
above, MDHS must make the change effective no later than the first benefit
issued 10 days after the reported change was known to MDHS. If the change is
not reported until the 20th of a month and MDHS does
not have time to adjust next month's benefit, then the supplemental benefit
must be provided to the household by the 10th day of
the following month or on the household's normal issuance during that month,
whichever is later.
C. MDHS has
elected the option to verify changes that result in an increase in the benefit
level.
D. Therefore, MDHS must give
the household 10 days to provide verification from the date the change was
reported.
E. If the household fails
to verify the change within 10 days, but provides verification later, then the
timeframes to make the change will be effective from the date of
verification.
F. If MDHS discovers
that a benefit amount should have decreased after receiving subsequent
verification, then it will issue a claim for the over-issuance.
