003.05(A) TIMELINESS.

Regardless of when the Department assigns an interview date, the Department considers the household’s application as timely if it is received by the 15th day of the last month of certification. Households provided a notice of expiration have a minimum of 15 days from the date the notice is received to file a timely application for recertification. If the application is mailed in, the household must allow two days mailing time to ensure that the Department receives the application within 15 days.
