The new SSP is written in which window before the end of the current plan year?

Timing matters: a new SSP should be created with enough lead time before the current plan year ends so everything can be reviewed, approved, and set up for the next year without gaps. The 90 to 45 days before the end window gives that breathing room. It allows the family, the support broker, and providers to review and update the plan, finalize any budget and service arrangements, and secure all necessary approvals so the new plan can start smoothly when the new year begins. Writing earlier than 90 days can risk changes happening after the window or becoming outdated; waiting to the last minute (45 days or fewer) can leave insufficient time to process approvals and implement services, potentially causing gaps.
