WAG 19-02-06
A household meeting the criteria (PM 19-07-01) is enrolled into Mid-Point Reporting (MPR) status for the regular roll month upon completion of a face-to-face REDE.
A case in Mid-Point Reporting status is redetermined every 12-months with an interim Mid-Point Report form completed in the 6th month of the household's approval period.
During the approval period, a household in Mid-Point Reporting status is only required to report when their income exceeds their Gross Monthly Income Standard, unless they are completing their Mid-Point Report form. When completing the Mid-Point Report form any changes related to the questions asked on the form must be reported. For SNAP, no action is needed if the household reports no changes. For TANF, hours worked must always be verified even if the household reports no changes. Paystubs must be provided when Question #4 is answered "Yes".
No Changes Reported
- For TANF, hours of employment must be verified, even if no changes are reported on the Mid-Point Report form. The Work Number may be used to verify hours worked.
- For SNAP, if the household reports no changes the report of no change is documented in the case record. No further action is required.
Customer Reports a Change
If a change is reported, a case is updated with the appropriate change by schedule cut-off for the next effective month
- For TANF, verify hours of employment and other reported changed as appropriate (PM 03-13-01-c). The Work Number may be used to verify hours worked.
- For SNAP, a reported change on the Mid-Point Report form is not verified for SNAP, unless it is an income reported change to Question #4.
Form Submitted Incomplete or Unsigned
- If the Mid-Point Report form is incomplete, or unsigned, or verification is needed, send a written request to the household. Allow the household 10 calendar days to take the required action.
Form 2890 Not Returned
- If the Mid-Point Report form is not returned or if the required verification is not provided:
- TANF households with or without SNAP will be swapped to medical only.
- SNAP only or SNAP households with cash and/or medical will have their SNAP benefits canceled.
Form 2890 Returned after Due Date But Before the 7th Month in the Approval Period
- Benefits are reinstated if the Mid-Point Report form is received:
- before the end of month 6 in the household's approval period. Benefits are not prorated; or
- after month 6 but before the end of month 7. Benefits are prorated from the date of receipt.
- The household must file a new application if the Mid-Point Report form is received after the 7th month.
Note: If a case is reinstated without requiring a new application the original approval period is not changed.
