EMERGENCIES - 1ST MONTH PROCESSING
0004.06
If the 5th day does not fall on a working day, process the application no later than the last working day within the 5-day time frame.
GA: See EGA.
EGA: Offer EGA information and the CAF on the same day a person inquires about the program. If an emergency situation is imminent or already present, offer the interview on the same day the unit submits the CAF.
If there is emergent and ongoing need, process the application as soon as possible for ongoing GA eligibility. If there will be a significant delay, EGA may be used for up to 30 days until GA eligibility is determined.
NOTE: Priority must be given to qualifying the applicant for ongoing GA because any use of EGA counts against the applicant’s 12 month EGA limit and the county’s EGA allocation.
