Presumptive Eligibility

The Intake FC EW can authorize EA assistance and/or services prior to making the final eligibility determination. Eligibility for EA is only authorized presumptively when information needed to clear eligibility is unavailable, such as the child’s social security number or immigration status is unavailable.

“Presumptive Eligibility” exists if box 11A on the EA1 is checked an explanation must be added. The Triage FC EW is still required to authorize EA assistance/services within 30 days.
