<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">We can open components the first day of the month before the actual start date. For example, our fall quarter starts September 26, so I could start opening components the first
day of the prior month, being August 1<sup>st</sup>. <br>
<br>
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Here is the language from the October 2015 handbook:<br>

month in advance. Day one of the component time limits begin on the [future] start date. For example, open a September component as early as August 1st. When opening future components you must recheck eligibility before providing services as client’s eligibility
can terminate without notice.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">There is no longer any mention in the BFET Provider’s Handbook (rev. April 2016) of the opening of components with future start dates. Is this still allowed? I have looked through my notes from the Training Forum and cannot locate any
mention of this changing, but I wanted to make sure this was still okay since I have a lot of components to get started on!<o:p></o:p></p>
