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.

So when you start October and the 24 hours have dropped off the look back and as a result you no longer have a pop up to acknowledge with your DBMS password for the October bid period and your verification status for the October bid period is shown as NONE, if you call in sick for the first trip in your example your verification status for the October bid period is going to change in the middle of the bid period to QHCP and require you to verify the subsequent sick call in the October bid period ? The amount used in the 12 previous completed bid periods haven’t changed have they?
I may be completely wrong here, but I’m having a difficult time reconciling the examples provided here with the language itself and NN 17-13. I also recall a conversation during TA2 with one of the negotiators that left me with the impression that a verification status only changes bid period to bid period because the lookback that triggers it uses only completed bid periods. That’s why the second sick call in your example wouldn’t have a different verification requirement from the first one. That first sick call in October that takes your up to the minute iCrew display over 100 hours is not a part of a completed bid period. It’s gonna get you for November unless you have more dropping off the lookback than are coming into it, but your verification status for the current bid period should be the same all bid period long.
