Once the individual’s verification requirements are completed, the local agency must determine eligibility without delay. When eligibility is confirmed, CWW sets the eligibility period. Eligibility periods are 12 months unless the parent consents to complete an early renewal (see 3.8.1).
The eligibility period begins on the first day of the month that the parent met all eligibility criteria. Occasionally a parent will not be eligible for the month in which they apply but meets the eligibility criteria for the following month. When that happens, the parent’s eligibility period begins the first of the month following the RFA date.
