Program Support Unit (PSU) staff must follow the guidelines from Title 3 Texas Government Code (TAC) Section 311.014, Computation of Time, when calculating calendar days noted below.
Title 3 TAC Section 311.014, Computation of Time:
(a) In computing a period of days, the first day is excluded and the last day is included.
(b) If the last day of any period is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the period is extended to include the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.
Skeleton crew days are not legal holidays. Legal holidays are days when the agency is closed.
Due Dates for Case Actions
The following chart contains a monthly calendar to help determine when case action time frames are due. The first column is the date the clock starts ticking. Each subsequent column shows when calendar days have expired.
Note: The due dates do not consider a leap year. The chart assumes February has only 28 days. The * in the chart suggests PSU staff must back up one day if it is a leap year.
Example:
- PSU staff upload Form H3676, Managed Care Pre-Enrollment Assessment Authorization, Section A, to the MCOHub, authorizing the managed care organization (MCO) to complete a STAR Kids Screening and Assessment Instrument (SK-SAI) on June 1, 2022.
- The MCO has 60 days to submit the SK-SAI, STAR Kids individual service plan (SK-ISP), and Form H3676, Section B, to PSU staff.
- The MCO must provide PSU staff with the SK-SAI, SK-ISP and Form H3676, Section B by July 31, 2022.
