Section R. 400.3164 - Changes in group's circumstancesRule 14.
(1) A group shall report a change in circumstance within 10 days of the change.(2) The department shall act on changes that continue for at least 1 month beyond the month in which the change was reported.(3) A group member addition or change in income that results in a benefit increase must affect the benefit level for the month after the month the change occurred, if the addition or change is timely reported. If a group member addition or change in income that results in a benefit increase is reported late, then the effective month of the increase is the month after the month the change is reported and verified.(4) A change other than the changes specified in subrule (3) of this rule must affect the first full benefit month that begins not later than 10 days after the change is reported. The department may affect the first full benefit month that begins earlier than 10 days after the change is reported, if administratively possible. A benefit month is the calendar month for which assistance is paid. Assistance may be paid for 1/2 of the benefit month or for a full benefit month, depending upon a group's eligibility for payment.
(5) A change that results in case closure may affect the month in which the change occurred.(6) If a change in a group's assets results in exceeding the asset standard established by the department, then the group is ineligible for benefits for 1 month or for as long as the assets exceed the standard, whichever is longer. In this situation, the month in which assistance is closed is either the month following the month in which the group obtained the asset or, if administratively feasible, the second month following the month in which the group obtained the assets.Mich.
