If eligible, the applicant must be advised of the amount of the allotment and the period the benefits are intended to cover. This information is provided verbally and must be followed up in writing. The Worker must notify applicants who are denied in writing using form FS-D-2 or by completing an DFA-NL-A for each individual denial.
