1414.1 Approval

A notice of approval(s) shall be sent for all programs determined eligible. Notices must contain the amount of benefits and the beginning and ending dates of the review period.

Approved - The application will be approved if automatically eligible or if determined eligible with respect to all factors including financial. All households are to be notified of the appropriate reporting requirements upon approval for assistance benefits. See 9120 .

Approved - Suspended - If the applicant is eligible with respect to all factors other than financial but there is a spenddown (see 7530 ), the application will be approved in a spenddown status if there appears to be a likelihood that the spenddown will be met within the 6-month eligibility base period using evidence provided by the client and known to the agency. Eligibility staff shall refer to the guidance provided in Policy Memo 2017-03-01, re: Living Arrangement Changes including HCBS Termination - Special Project , to determine whether a spenddown should be approved. This is an administrative procedure to meet the application disposition time requirements and to preserve the original application date. However, there is no eligibility until the spenddown is met. See 1422 concerning suspension.
