101.04.01 RIGHT TO APPLY

Official source

Individuals wishing to file an application must be afforded the opportunity to do so without delay. When an individual inquires about making an application at any regional office, an application form must be provided, and the person offered the opportunity to file that day. The agency must allow an individual or individuals of an applicant’s choice to accompany and assist an applicant or recipient in the application or redetermination process; however, to officially represent the applicant or recipient, an individual must become an authorized, self-designated or legal representative. Refer to 101.03.04 for a discussion of authorized representatives and individuals or organizations needing access to case information, in which case the HIPAA release form may be more appropriate.
