GOOD CAUSE FOR NOT REPORTING
ISSUE DATE: 12/2014
MFIP:
Allow good cause from monthly reporting requirements for a month when any of the following factors cause a caregiver to fail to provide the county with a completed Household Report Form (HRF) (DHS-2120) before the end of the month in which the form is due:
● | The employer delays completion of employment verifications. |
● | A county agency does not help the caregiver complete the HRF when the caregiver asks for help. |
● | A caregiver does not receive an HRF due to a mistake on the part of DHS or the county agency or due to a timely reported change in address, which does not allow enough time for MAXIS to send documents to the current address. |
● | A caregiver is ill or physically or mentally disabled. |
● | Some other circumstance occurs that a caregiver could not avoid with reasonable care which prevents the caregiver from providing a completed HRF before the end of the month in which the form is due. |
Allow up to an additional 10 days for the client to provide verifications. Assist clients in obtaining needed verifications. A client statement is also permissible if the client, with the county's assistance, is unable to provide necessary verification.
DWP, SNAP, MSA, GA, GRH:
No provisions.
