To meet this requirement, LAA’s must closely monitor pending applications. If it becomes clear that an applicant is either ineligible or has not provided required information within the allotted time, the application may be immediately denied. The OHEP system will auto-generate the denial notice once all programs are denied. 4.4 Reapplication Applicants who are denied assistance will receive a written notice that includes: ● The specific reason(s) for the denial.

● Information about their right to request a fair and timely review and hearing of the decision.

Denied applicants are also advised of their right to reapply for assistance under the following conditions: ● Standard Reapplication Window: Applicants may reapply 30 days after the date of the denial notice, provided the program remains open and accepting applications.

● End-of-Program Exception: If the program's scheduled close date is less than 30 days away, an applicant may submit a new application within 15 days of the close date, if there are changes to the information previously provided.

4.4.1 Incomplete Information Exception: If an application is denied due to incomplete information, the applicant has 90 days from the date of denial to provide the required documentation to cure the application. If all required information necessary to determine eligibility is received, the original application may be reopened and processed without requiring a new application.
