101.07.03 ABD STANDARDS OF PROMPTNESS

Official source

Federal rules require that applications be approved or denied, and the applicant notified, within 45 days from the date the application was filed. The processing timeframe is 90 days when a disability determination is required before the eligibility determination can be completed. However, if a separate disability decision is not required, the 45-day standard applies. The applicable standard of promptness, i.e., 45 or 90 days, is applied to an ABD application from the date an application is filed to the date the notice of decision is issued to the applicant. When there is a delay, the reason must be documented in the record.
