2. includes all required information; and

3. is received by the Department on a timely basis. (Cross Reference: 1555)

1. all questions requiring completion are answered; and

2. "yes" answers are adequately explained; and

3. income verification is provided; and

4. it is signed by a responsible member of the assistance unit or, in the case of a Food Stamp unit, an authorized representative.

C. Timeliness

1. The Department considers the Monthly Reporting form to have been received on a timely basis when a completed report is received by the Department on or before the due date.

2. The Department uses the date stamped on the reporting form indicating receipt to determine if the timeliness requirement has been met.
