    On page 15, line 33, after "months." insert "At any time after a recipient reaches his or her sixty-month lifetime limit, the recipient may request a fair hearing with the department, in order to determine whether extraordinary, exigent circumstances exist that would cause undue hardship to the recipient if benefits were not restored.  The fair hearing shall comply with federal standards for fair hearings on matters pertaining to benefit reduction.  If justifying extraordinary circumstances are found to exist, the department shall provide grant assistance to the recipient, on a month-to-month basis, for as long as the exigent circumstance continues."
