Before issuing expedited benefits, applicants who meet expedited service criteria (see 1125.010.00 Expedited Service Criteria) must:
- complete their interview and
- verify their identity.
Review the discovery date field to ensure the correct discovery date is entered prior to authorization.
Expedited benefits are posted to the EBT card and made available to the household no later than seven calendar days following the date of application or the date of discovery.
If the applicant does not complete the interview within 6 days following application date, then the application will be processed with a normal 30-day timeframe.
Offer all applicants denied expedited service a conference with a Supervisor. The conference is held within two working days.
