PM 17-02-02-a: Approval of Medical Prior to the 30th Day

WAG 17-02-02-a.

When an applicant applies for cash assistance, gather all the information/verifications you need to determine eligibility. When all eligibility factors have been met and 30 days have not passed since the date of application, approve medical assistance.

Do not delay the authorization of medical assistance when all eligibility factors have been met just because it is less than 30 days following the date of application. Approve the case for medical assistance and reregister the TANF application.
