NA Notice of Expiration (NOE)
 
(01/01/21 – 12/31/21)
AZTECS mails a Notice of Expiration (NOE) to each NA budgetary unit so that it is received as follows:
 
At least one day before the last month of the approval period.
No earlier than the next to the last month of the approval period.
 
AZTECS automatically creates an NOE notice on the 1st of the month prior to expiration.
 
AZTECS does not automatically generate the NOE notice to budgetary units approved for three months or less when the approval is keyed after the AZTECS NOE issuance date.
 
When an approval period is assigned and the approval completed after the AZTECS NOE date, send an F009 notice.
 
In cases where the timeliness of the NA NOE is in dispute, determine whether adequate mail time was allowed, using the following:
 
The postmark on the NOE
Adding two days to the NOE postmark date for receipt of the NOE
 
Do not prorate the initial month's benefits when both of the following apply:
 
NOE was not issued during the prior approval period
The participant is reapplying for NA in the month following the month that the approval period ended
 
The NOE informs the PI of the following information:
