day of the intake month or before funds are exhausted.

For a paper application, the application is complete when the client signs a DFA-2 or DFA-5 which contains, at a minimum, his name and address. All applications for school clothing must be received no later than the last day of the intake month or before funds are exhausted. If the client requests other programs of assistance on the DFA-2, please refer to those sections for the date of application. 19.2.1.D Date of Application The date of the application is the date that the DFA-2 or DFA-WVSC-1 was submitted with at least the applicant’s name and address, or the date the electronic signature is submitted in WV PATH. If the DFA-WVSC-1 is received by mail, the date of application is the date the form is received. When the form is received prior to the start of the program year, it may not be processed in the eligibility system before the start of the program. 19.2.1.E Interview Required No interview is required when the DFA-WVSC-1 or WV PATH is used. When the client is being interviewed for an application or redetermination for another program, form DFA-2 is used. 19.2.1.F Who Must Be Interviewed No interview is routinely required, but when an interview is conducted, a specified relative with whom the child lives with must participate in the intake interview. NOTE: If the applicant has completed the interactive interview, and there is a technical failure that prevents printing the DFA-2, form DFA-5 must be signed by the applicant and filed in the case record with the subsequently printed DFA-2. He must not be required to return to the office to sign the DFA-2 when a DFA-5 has been signed. In this instance, the application is considered complete when the DFA-5 is signed.
