Clarifying Information - WAC 388-406-0035

If an applicant for food assistance completes their interview late in the application process and we still need some information to determine eligibility, take the following steps:

Notify the client during interview that we must have the required information/verification no later than the 30th day from their application date, otherwise they won't receive benefits for the application month. List the 10 day deadline to provide verification.

Tell the client we can reconsider a denied application if we have the information/verification by the 60th day after they applied. We will prorate benefits for the second month starting the date we receive the required information/verification.
