791-2          TIMELY NOTICE REQUIREMENT

Timely notice is required for all adverse actions not listed in MS 791-3 below. This means the notice must be mailed at least 10 days prior to the first day of the benefit month. The 10 day count begins the day after the notice is mailed.

Example:

Julie reported a new job on Friday, August 12. On Wednesday, August 17, the ETEligibility Technician contacted the employer to verify Julie's pay and took action to reduce her benefits for the following month. The notice was printed overnight and brought to the post office on Thursday, August 18. The 10 day count begins Friday, August 19. Because the 10th day falls on Sunday, August 28, the adverse action notice is considered timely.
