(a) A timely review application is one that is received on or before the date requested. If the department determines that a timely review application requires additional documentation, the department will send a notice to the recipient requesting the additional documentation and giving the recipient at least 10 days after the date of the notice to submit the additional documentation. If eligibility is found after reviewing the review application and any additional documentation timely received, the department will determine a new review due date in accordance with 7 AAC 100.020.

(b) An untimely review application is one that is not received on or before the date requested, but is received on or before by the last day of the month eligibility is set to end according to the notice under (a) of this section. If the department determines that an untimely review application requires additional documentation, the department will send a notice to the recipient requesting the additional documentation and giving the recipient at least 10 days after the date of the notice to submit the additional documentation. If the department is unable to determine eligibility on or before the last day of the month in which eligibility is set to end, the department will extend eligibility one month to allow time for the department to complete its determination of whether the recipient is eligible for benefits.
