What happens in the current bid period does not become part of the look back to trigger verification until the point that the current bid period becomes a completed bid period, ie you start the next bid period. I acknowledge that the iCrew display shows up to date usage, but the look back that triggers verification uses only the 12 previous completed bid periods.
Maybe someone on here has actually been in this situation and can clarify. Has anyone started a bid period with no verification requirement and had to verify something in that current bid period outside of a good faith basis?
The 12 month look back is used to determine whether you need to verify in the current bid month. Example: I went over 100 hours March 2018. I am required to verify for any sick call with a QHCP. Every month since then, on the the first day of the bid period, I have to type in my DBMS password to acknowledge I must verify by QHCP if I call in sick.
This month 24hrs will drop off and I will be under 100 hrs and go off QHCP. If, in October I call in sick for a 25 hour trip 3-7 October (taking me back over 100 hrs) then call in well for a week then sick out over an 8 day 50 hour trip later in Oct., I will have to verify that 50 hour trip to get paid for it.
Your current month is still part of the 100 hours.
