2. LIMITS FOR EXPEDITED SERVICE

A. Prior to issuance of any benefits, the applicant's identity shall be verified through available documents or a collateral contact.

B. If all necessary additional verification has been provided, SNAP benefits shall be authorized the day the application was filed.

NOTE: For a household which is otherwise eligible for expedited service but was denied or terminated for refusal to cooperate with a Quality Control reviewer, see Section 222-5.

C. If not all necessary additional verification has been provided by the next work day, the Department shall postpone verification and authorize benefits before the close of business.

The required verifications must be provided before the Department may authorize another month's allotment.

NOTE: Expedited service does not apply to a renewal form received before the end of a household's current certification period. However, a renewal form received after the household's certification period ends is entitled to expedited service if otherwise eligible for such service.
