Documentation timeframe Clause Samples

Documentation timeframe. For the purposes of direct verification, docu- mentation must be the most recent available but such documentation must indicate eligibility for participation or income within the 180-day period end- ing on the date of application. In addi- tion, local educational agencies may use documentation, which must be within the 180-day period ending on the date of application, for any one month or for all months in the period from the month prior to application through the month direct verification is conducted. The information provided only needs to indicate eligibility for participation in the program at that point in time, not that the child was certified for that program’s benefits within the 180-day period.
