Utah Admin. Code R986-100-113 - A Client Must Inform the Department of All Material Changes
(1) A material
change is any change which might affect eligibility.
(2) Households receiving assistance must
report all material changes to the Department as follows.
(a) Households receiving SNAP must report a
change in the household's gross income if the income exceeds 130% of the
federal poverty level. The change must be reported within ten days from the end
of the calendar month in which the change occurred. Changes reported by the
tenth of the month following the month when the change occurred are considered
timely.
(b) Households receiving
GA, WTE, FEP, FEPTP, AA and RRP that do not meet the requirements of paragraph
(2)(a) must report the following changes within ten days of the change
occurring:
(i) if the household's gross
income exceeds 185% of the adjusted standard needs budget;
(ii) a change of address;
(iii) if any eligible child leaves the
household and the household receives FEP, FEPTP or AA;
(iv) if a parent, step-parent, spouse, or
former spouse moves into the household or if a marriage or adoption occurs with
or between the already reported household members;
(v) if a child becomes eligible for foster
care or subsidized adoption financial assistance;
(vi) a change in student status of a child in
the household;
(vii) if a client
receiving TCA is no longer employed or is working less than an average of 30
hours per week;
(viii) if there is
a change in disability status of a GA client; or
(ix) if a GA client becomes
employed.
(3)
Households that do not meet the requirements of paragraph (2)(a) of this
section will be assigned a review month. In addition to the ten-day reporting
requirements listed in paragraph (2)(b) of this section, the household must
report, by the last day of the review month, all material changes that have
occurred since the last review, or the date of application if it is the first
review. The household is also required to accurately complete all review forms
and reports as requested by the Department.
(4) Most changes which result in an increase
of assistance will become effective the month following the month in which the
report of the change was made. If verification is necessary, verification and
changes will be made in the month following the month in which verification was
received. If the change is to add a person to the household, the person will be
added effective on the date reported, provided necessary verification is
received within 30 days of the change. If verification is received after 30
days, the increase will be made effective the date verification was received.
(5) For the purposes of this
section, "the Department" means any state office or outreach location of the
Department of Workforce Services that accepts and processes applications for
the programs listed in Section
R986-100-102 and the divisions
of the Department of Workforce Services that determine eligibility for those
programs, including submitting information using the Department's eligibility
customer case system available on the Department's website.
