004.01 EXPEDITED SERVICE.

Expedited service standards require that processing be completed with timeframes that are shorter than the usual 30 days. If this is an initial application, the criteria apply to the month of application. The household may be certified under expedited service procedures if they are determined to be entitled to expedited service and have either provided all the required verifications since the last certification or have been certified under the 30-day processing standards since the last expedited service certification. If otherwise eligible, a household cannot waive its right to expedited service. If otherwise eligible, the following households are entitled to expedited service: (1) Households with less than $150 in monthly gross income provided their liquid resources do not exceed $100; (2) Households whose combined monthly gross income and liquid resources are less than the household’s monthly rent or mortgage and utilities; and (3) Migrant or seasonal farmworkers who are destitute provided their liquid resources do not exceed $100.
