Households may submit an application while pending a hearing with continued benefits. This is allowed because the household cannot be denied the opportunity to reapply or access benefits in the event the hearing is lost or abandoned, which usually creates an automatic overpayment. If circumstances have changed, the household may be eligible with the new application and the customer would not have an overpayment for the continued benefits or the amount may be reduced based on the date of application. If the hearing is found in favor of the customer, continue benefits and deny the new application. See E&P MS B-1000 for hearing procedures for continued benefits.
