Please do not change the Interim Report filing and Certification periods. I agree with some of the other posts that they should incorporate a penalty for a late Interim Reports as they do with the late Renewals.

I work primarily with the Aged, Blind, and Disabled population and I feel that the households with unearned income (SSA,SSI) it is a waste of the client's time and the worker's time to have them be expected to come in for 6 month renewals. I haven't had any issues with them completing the Interim Report, because most of the time they are just checking "No Changes" the whole way.

I know with Families and Children cases there are a lot more changes being reported. Maybe they just need to come up with a better policy on what needs to be reported and when.

If they could ever get the web portal for the client's in place I think that would be a good avenue for client's to report changes online that some how could be reported directly to their worker.
