Certification period

Defined in 1 place of the United States Code.

“Certification period” means the period for which households shall be eligible to receive authorization cards. Except as provided in section 2015(c)(1)(C) of this title, for those households that are required to submit periodic reports under section 2015(c)(1) of this title, the certification period shall be at least six months but no longer than twelve months except that the foregoing limits on the certification period may, with the approval of the Secretary, be waived by a State agency for certain categories of households where such waiver will improve the administration of the program. For households that are not required to submit periodic reports, the certification period shall be determined as follows:

(1) In the case of a household all of whose members are included in a federally aided public assistance or general assistance grant, the period shall coincide with the period of such grant.

(2) In the case of all other households, the period shall be not less than three months: Provided, That such period may be up to twelve months for any household consisting entirely of unemployable or elderly or primarily self-employed persons, or as short as circumstances require for those households as to which there is a substantial likelihood of frequent changes in income or household status, and for any household on initial certification, as determined by the Secretary. The maximum limit of twelve months for such period under the foregoing proviso may be waived by the Secretary where such waiver will improve the administration of the program.
