The rate change from infant to preschool, and from preschool to school-age, is made the first day of the month following the child’s second and fifth birthdays. No adverse action notice is generated as this is a change in the child care rate, not a change in eligibility.
Simplified reporting allows a 13 year old child without special needs to continue receiving benefits until the end of the EU’s eligibility period. If the child does not have a documented special need, the child will not be eligible for additional benefits if the EU reapplies at the end of the determination period.
