GR 40-121.2 – Time
Limit Information on
LEADER
Prior to the 277 th day, aid is automatically
terminated by LEADER effective the last day of
eligibility and an automated NOA is sent. LEADER
also calculates the individual’s future eligible date.
When an individual reapplies for GR, how does
the worker know the remaining number of days
the individual has?
The following may be found in Authorization &
Wrap-up subsystem, GR Non Financial Eligibility
screen on LEADER:
The number of eligible days as an Employable
individual may have remaining,
The number of times an individual has been on
aid as an E, and
The number of days aided as an Employable for
each time.
GR 40-121.3 – Effective
Date of Termination
When the 277 days are up, is the case
terminated at the end of the month?
No, for time limited cases only, cases can be
terminated on the day of the month the individual
becomes ineligible and benefits can be prorated for
the last month of eligibility.
The exemption period for employable individuals on
a temporary exemption (up to 30 days) is not
counted as part of the 277 day limit.
GR 40-121.4 – Extended
Suspend
Does the extended suspend period apply to
individuals terminated for time limits?
No, although individuals terminated for time limits
have the right to a pre-termination hearing, there is
not an extended suspend period. The purpose of
extended suspend is to allow individuals additional
time and the opportunity to resolve non-compliance
issues. Under time limits, there is no issue of noncompliance
to be resolved.
NOTE: Pre-termination hearings and the extended
suspend period for all other terminations
remain unchanged.
GR 40-121.5 – Hearings
