153 DESK REVIEWS (AAM)

_____________________________________________________________

A desk review consists of review and verification of a reported or discovered change in an eligibility factor or individual circumstances and the resulting change to the case, if any.

Conduct a desk review when a reported or discovered change does not warrant a full redetermination of all eligibility factors. Conduct a full redetermination instead of a desk review if the individual specifically requests one.

•       Record the change and document the desk review;

•       Notify the individual of any required information or verifications;

•       Allow the individual 10 working days to provide the information or verifications; and

•       Determine the effect of the change on the individual’s eligibility and benefits.
