The Interim Reporting requiremnt should be eliminated. It is not client or Benfit Programs Specialist friendly and cause Quality Assurance errors and delayed receipt of benefits for the client. There is also an additional expense to the agency in time spent by the BPS processing, copying, remailing and the postage cost involved. Certification periods should run for a year with no monthly or interim reporting requirement. Keep the current requirement for clients to report changes. That is their personal responsibility and they need to be held accountable for not reporting mandated changes.
