Not Eligible in Determination Eligible in Following Example
The application was received on 09/21.
The determination was completed on 10/30.
The budgetary unit is not eligible in the month the determination is completed, but a change in circumstances will result in eligibility for the following month.
Because the budgetary unit is eligible in the month following the determination month (11), the application is prorated to 11 and approved.
Benefits may be prorated to the third month after the original application date, but not more than 45 days past the application date. Had the following month been more than 45 days past the application date, the application would have been denied; the budgetary unit would have had to reapply.
