Worker Responsibilities - WAC 388-406-0060

If a basic food applicant doesn't show for the required eligibility interview within the 7-day interview window:

ACES sends a Notice of Missed Interview informing the applicant to contact the department by phone or in person for an interview by the 30th day.

ACES automatically denies a pending basic food AU in overnight processing on the 30th day from date of application regardless of whether an interview has been initiated. If the 30th day falls on a weekend or a holiday, the denial occurs in overnight processing on the next business day.
