Status Change Request Overview

Any request to change a member’s assignment information is defined as a status change request. There are four types of "status change" requests:
 

Suspension:  You can suspend a member any time during the member’s term. The effective date of the suspension must be after the member’s start date and before the member’s required completion date. Please note that members do not need to be suspended from one term to serve in another (concurrent) term.  Only less-than-full-time members may serve concurrent terms that do not exceed one full-time term.

 

Reinstatement:  Reinstating a member can occur anytime after the member has been suspended. The effective date of the reinstatement must be after the effective date of the suspension and within two years of the effective date of the suspension.

 

Transfer:  My AmeriCorps provides an easy process to transfer an active member from your program to another program or operating site. You don’t need access to the new program to perform this action.

 

Change Term of Service (slot type):  When changing a member’s term of service, the program must have unfilled MSYs available that equal the MSYs associated with the new slot type. If additional MSYs are required, you may need to move slots within a program or transfer slots from one program to another. Transferring slots can be performed only by grantees (State Commissions).
