Wash. Admin. Code § 388-406-0060 - What happens when my application is denied?
(1) We (the department) deny your application
for cash or Basic Food benefits if:
(a) You
do not show for your interview appointment for cash or Basic Food if required
under WAC
388-452-0005, you have not
rescheduled, and your application is over thirty days old; or
(b) We do not have the information we need to
determine your eligibility within ten days of requesting the information from
your assistance unit (AU) under WAC
388-490-0005, and you did not ask
for additional time to give us the information; or
(c) Your entire AU does not meet certain
eligibility criteria to get benefits; or
(d) For Basic Food, your application has not
been processed by the sixtieth day because of a delay on your part.
(2) If we deny your application,
you do not get benefits unless:
(a) You
mistakenly apply for benefits you already get; or
(b) We reconsider your eligibility under WAC
388-406-0065 and you are eligible
to get benefits.
(3) We
can reconsider if you are eligible for benefits under the requirements of WAC
388-406-0065 even after your
application is denied.
(4) We give
or send a letter to you explaining why your application was denied as required
under WAC
388-458-0011.
(5) If you disagree with our decision about
your application, you can ask for a fair hearing. If we deny your application
because we do not have enough information to decide that you are eligible, the
hearing issue is whether you are eligible using:
(a) Information we already have;
and
(b) Any more information you
can give us.
