It is time to quit changing policy so much.  Leave the 12-month certification periods with the Interim Report.  Workers and customers are used to the reports.  Changing to 6-month certification periods with only an interview every other time amounts to the same thing as what we have so leave the 12 month periods in place.  With the growing caseloads 12-month certification periods make the most sense from a management point of view.  This would also still coincide with the certification periods for Medicaid and TANF.  It would be best to either have the client to report all changes and take action on all changes the same way or just don't report any at all.  Policy is getting too involved rather than being simplified.  For example:  dealing with changes in shelter costs that result from a move should not be any different than other changes in shelter costs.
