Rules for verifying changes follow general verification rules in section 107-2.
For the verification of the change to be considered timely, the customer must provide any needed verification within 10 days of the date the agency gives or mails a request for verification.
When the 10th day falls on a non-business day, the household has until the close of the first working day following the non-business day to provide the requested verification.
When the customer mails in the verification, the date received by the local office is considered the date it is submitted.

Supplemental UPP payments for the following month will be made if necessary.
