If the application is to be held pending because some action by the household is needed to complete the application process, the notice will explain what action the household must take and that its application will be denied if the household fails to take the required action within 30 days of the date the application was filed. The Agency will include on the notice of pending status the date by which the household must provide the missing verification. For notices that must be translated, the client must be allowed at least ten days from the time the translated notice is mailed to provide the requested verification. (2) Applications for recertification The Agency will provide households that have filed an application by the 15th of the last month of their certification period with either a notice of eligibility or a notice of denial by the end of the current certification period if the household has complied with all recertification requirements. The Agency will provide households that have received a notice of expiration at the time of certification, and have timely reapplied, with either a notice of eligibility or a notice of denial not later than 30 days after the date of the household's initial opportunity to obtain its last allotment.
