The date of application is the date the county receives a signed SFN 405 – Application for Assistance.  The date of application for a faxed Application for Assistance is the date the county receives it.  If a faxed Application for Assistance is received on a weekend or holiday, the date of application is the next working day.  The county must document the date an application is filed by recording the date it was received on the application.

 

The household must be advised that it does not have to be interviewed before filing the application and may file an incomplete application form as long as the form contains the applicant’s name and address, and is signed by a responsible member of the household or the household’s authorized representative.

 

For residents of institutions who apply prior to release, the date of application is the date of the release.

 

An individual’s signature on the application attests to providing full information and to understanding the reporting requirements of the program.
