Emergency Payment - No Application on File 415-35-30- 15 (Revised 10/00 ML #2629) View Archives

If there is no application on file for the current heating season, an application must be taken before emergency services can be approved (415-50-10-05). If the household applies before May 31, it may qualify for heating assistance as well as emergency fuel assistance. In this case, the "Household Data" will be added as it would be for any other approved case, and the payment process for the emergency payments will be as described in Steps 1-3 of 415-35-30-05.

However, some applications can be approved ONLY for emergency services because of eligibility factors or because the application was received after the deadline for heating assistance (May 31). In this case, the Status will be coded 01 ("approved"). The payment type, authorization period, and vendor ID# will be entered the same as described in 415-35-30-10. The remainder of the payment process is the same as described in Steps 1-3 of 415-35-30-05.
