Quarterly Reporting (QR-7) Instructions and Form

WHAT IS QUARTERLY REPORTING?

Quarterly Reporting means participants are required to submit a Quarterly Report (QR 7) once every three months. Eligibility and benefits for the upcoming quarter (three month period) will be based on information provided on the QR 7.

Participants are asked to report information on the QR 7 such as income, property and changes to their household. The QR 7 asks participants to also report expected/anticipated changes in income or expenses over the next three months. Participants have limited reporting requirements during the quarter.

Major features of Quarterly Reporting are as follows:
-	Participants are required to submit an income/eligibility report once per quarter (in the third month of the quarter). Eligibility and benefits for a three-month period are based on information provided on the QR 7.
-	The QR 7 asks for information regarding income, property, and household composition for the quarter, as well as any expected/anticipated changes in income, property or household composition over the next three-month period.
-	Benefits will remain at the same level for the three months of the quarter, except under specific circumstances.
-	Participants will have limited mandatory requirements during the quarter.

WHEN IS THE QR 7 DUE?

The QR 7 is due by QR Cycle. Participants are assigned to a QR Cycle (the three-month Quarterly Reporting period) based on the last digit of the case number (this number can be found on the EBT card). The QR 7 is due on the fifth day of the third (or last month) of the Quarterly Reporting period.
