Approval of an initial application is generally effective for a period not to exceed one year. Subject to DSSM 14950 (6 month guaranteed eligibility) if the Division is aware of the likelihood of a material change in financial or medical status, initial approval may be for a shorter period.
Redetermination of eligibility is expected to occur on at least an annual basis and may otherwise be prompted by notice of a material change in financial or medical status. Redetermination shall include a reassessment of whether the child meets all seven eligibility criteria (DSSM 25100). If a child manifests a chronic profile, the Division may utilize abbreviated reassessment forms and rely on previous evaluations that remain clinically valid.
