001.02 FILING AN APPLICATION.

Households may submit applications to the Department in person, by mail, by telephone, by fax or other electronic transmission, or through an authorized representative. The household may file an incomplete application which minimally must include the applicant’s name, address, and the signature of a responsible member of the household or the authorized representative, if the latter is applicable. The household does not have to be interviewed before the application is filed. An application containing the minimal information is considered filed on the day it is received by the agency.
