The CAO will complete a prospective determination of need if the redetermination indicates a change in budget group income or circumstances that may affect eligibility. 55 Pa. Code § 183.12
Any income expected at redetermination will be used to determine eligibility and payment amount for the next semiannual (six month) or eligibility period.
Example: At her redetermination interview in February, Ms. Plum reports that she has started working. The CAO verifies her employment and that her first pay is due March 6. Ms. Plum’s expected wages are used to determine her eligibility and payment amount.
