Revert Program to Open - Overview
Revert Program to Open (REPT) is used to reopen a case when benefits were stopped or denied.
Cases must be reopened when any of the following occur:
●An error in the eligibility determination is discovered.
●The budgetary unit is eligible for ongoing benefits.
●The incorrect case was closed.
●An incorrect Denial Closure Reason Code was used.
●The NA case was closed for failure to provide, and the missing verification is provided before the effective date of closure.
●The NA application was
denied(g) for failure to provide, and the missing verification is provided within 30
calendar days(g) of case denial. For NA renewal applications verification must be provided no later than the 30th calendar day of the month following the month certification ended.
●The NA application was denied for failure to complete the NA interview, and the participant complies within 30 calendar days of case denial. (See
NA Participant Completes the Interview in the Second 30 Day Period) For NA renewal applications the interview must be completed no later than the 30th calendar day of the month following the month certification ended.
When an NA application was denied or an NA case was closed for failure to provide, FAA staff must ensure that information needed to complete a determination is available before reopening a case. When it is determined that a case must be reopened, an application and interview are not required.
Do not reopen an NA or CA case to issue corrective payments for prior months when the budgetary unit is not currently eligible for ongoing benefits. (See
Supplemental Benefits.)
