001.06(B) EXPEDITED PROCESSING.

If the household files an initial application on or after the 16th day of the month, the Department issues one combined allotment for the month of application and the following month. The household must provide verification of the identity of the head of the household before receiving benefits but may postpone providing some or all of the other verifications for the first two months. The combined allotment will be issued within seven calendar days of the receipt of the application. All required verifications must be provided before the third month's benefits can be issued.
