How many days before the end of the plan year must a notice of re-determination be issued?

Redetermination involves reviewing ongoing eligibility and services to prepare for the next plan year. Issuing the notice 120 days before the end of the plan year gives families and the administering agency enough time to review current information, gather any needed documents, make updates, and finalize approvals before the year ends. This lead time helps prevent gaps in services and allows for any required corrections or appeals without rushing. Shorter timelines—like 90, 60, or 30 days—can squeeze the process and increase the chance that decisions are made late or that services lapse.
