The STAR+PLUS Loss of Eligibility Report is a monthly report. PSU staff are required to research, resolve and respond to the requestor within 14 days of receipt. (The fact that completion of the report itself is due within 14 days of receipt does not negate policy regarding denial notifications. Refer to Section 3622, Notification Requirements. The notification must still be sent within two business days.)

Note: SASO files used by PES staff to produce this report are a snapshot in time and may not reflect registrations at the point of receipt.
