7 AAC 40.070 - Eligibility decision

(a) Except as provided in (b) of this section, the division will render an eligibility decision on each identifiable application and will mail the applicant a written notice of that decision within 30 days after receipt of the application. In this section, "identifiable application" means an application which contains at least the applicant's name, mailing address, and signature or witnessed mark.

(b) Eligibility for aid to the permanently and totally disabled or aid to the blind will not be denied because the applicant did not have an examination under 7 AAC 40.050 if he was unable to have the examination for reasons beyond his control or because the examiner did not furnish a report to the division. In those circumstances, the division may postpone an eligibility decision for an additional 30 days.
