44 Ill. Adm. Code 40.620
Annual Confirmation of Eligibility
Section 40.620 Annual
Confirmation of Eligibility
a) To maintain its certification, a certified business must file
a No Change Affidavit with CMS on an annual basis, confirming there have been
no changes in ownership or control from the last certification that would
affect the eligibility of the certification and shall provide any additional
information requested by CMS. The No Change Affidavit shall be in the form
specified by CMS and shall include, but not be limited to, owner demographics,
annual gross sales, current licensing, ownership interest, certification
documentation with other entities, and a signed and notarized affidavit.
b) At least 60 days prior to the anniversary of a certification,
CMS shall send a notice to the certified business advising that it must
complete and return the No Change Affidavit, postmarked by the date specified
in the notice.
c) If the certified business fails to submit the No Change
Affidavit, CMS shall issue a provisional revocation of the certification and so
notify the business. If the No Change Affidavit is not received within 30 days
after the mailing of the provisional revocation to the certified business, the
revocation shall become final and the business shall be decertified.
d) If the certified business submits a No Change Affidavit that
indicates that ownership or control has changed so that the certified business
is, or may be, no longer eligible for certification, CMS may request further
information or may issue a final decertification.
e) Upon receipt of the notice of final decertification, the
decertified business must submit a new and complete application for
certification.
f) In addition to the annual confirmation, CMS may require
confirmation of eligibility at any time during the term of certification.
