10 Multiple Changes
When two or more changes occur and are reported on the same change report, determine the net effect of all changes.
|
When adding a participant, their income and resources must be included, when applicable.

When the net effect of multiple changes results in a benefit decrease and the date the change is reported does not allow for
NOAA, treat the changes individually as follows:
●Effect changes that result in a benefit decrease for the first month possible, allowing for NOAA. (See
Effecting Decreases)
When changes are reported separately, effect the changes separately.
When a new source of income is reported, and earned income from a different source is budgeted for a participant, before decreasing benefits consider the following:
●Does the reported change include information about terminated income?
●Does the reported change include information about continuation for both income sources?
●Does the reported change include enough information about the new source of income?
●Review the
case file(g) for supporting verification of the reported change.
FAA may become aware of a new source of earned income for a participant. When this occurs, verify the new earned income and any other income that will continue for that participant.
