Applicant/Agency Deferrals
General
When the individual, family, or child is ineligible at the time of application but it appears there will be eligibility within 60 days, action on the application is withheld (case kept in pending status).
The EW must notify the applicant in writing of the pending status and of the date when we expect to take action (by the end of 60 days or prior, if known). If the applicant is subsequently determined to be eligible, the beginning date of aid (BDA) is determined as provided, (refer to Beginning Date of Aid) and an approval NOA sent effective that date. If ineligibility results, then the appropriate denial notice must be sent.
Example
| MONTH 1 | MONTH 2 | MONTH 3 |
| Status: Ineligible | Ineligible | Eligible |
| Action: Pending | Pending | Pay according to BDA rules. |
