FAP Fault Determination FAP Only For a pended application, determine who is at fault for the delay every 30 days after the application date. Note: This affects an approval of benefits for the months of delay, but not necessarily a denial; see Denials under Eligibility Decisions in this item. FAP Group at Fault If the 30-day SOP is not met and the group is at fault, the following applies: • Select yes for the Extend SOP due to group at fault question on the Program Request Details screen for FAP. • Bridges sends a DHS-1150-E, Food Assistance Application Notice, to inform the group that the EDG is pended and will be denied on the 60th day unless the needed actions are taken. • Bridges prorates benefits from the date the group complies with all application requirements. The group is at fault when you have taken all required actions, but the group has not complied with either of the following: • Provided all verifications by the 30th day, despite 10 days or more to provide them. • Participated in the scheduled interview; see Interviews in this item. Local Office at Fault If all necessary actions have not been completed and the applica- tion will pend beyond the 30th day, the following applies: • Send the group a DHS-5301, Pending Food Assistance Application Notice, to inform them of the pending status. • Take prompt action to correct the cause of the delay. • If eligible, the group's benefits begin with the application date.
