The following procedures are established to assure that assistance is continued without interruption in every case where a recipient has filed a valid appeal prior to the effective date of the proposed change:

a. If the proposed action is to terminate or suspend assistance, the benefits must be available for same day issuance in the event an appeal is filed.

b. In cases of proposed action to reduce assistance, benefits in the reduced amount should be issued, but the difference between the reduced amount and the prior amount must be available for same day issuance in the event a timely appeal is filed.

Note: If the recipient, because of agency error, did not receive advance written notice of the proposed action, or the notice received was not adequate, and an appeal is filed within 30 days of the action, financial assistance must be reinstated retroactively to the date of agency action and continued during the appeal process.
