005.03 DELAYS BEYOND 60 DAYS.

When eligibility has not been determined within 60 days following the date the application was filed, the following applies: (A) If the Department caused the delay in the second 30 days, the original application is processed until an eligibility determination is made; or (B) If the Department caused the delay in the first 30 days but the household caused the delay in the second 30 days, then the application is denied and the household must file a new application if the household wishes to participate. (C) The household is not entitled to retroactive benefits if it caused the delay during the second 30 days. A notice of denial is not necessary if the pending notice informed the household that it must file a new application if it did not provide verification.
