Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 1240-01-05-.05 - PROCESSING STANDARDS

(1) For households entitled to expedited service (including residents of drug addiction/alcoholic treatment centers and other group living arrangements), the county office will determine eligibility timely to assure that coupons are provided to the household on or before the seventh calendar day following the application date. Expedited service timeliness standards do not begin until the household files an application.

(2) Late Determinations. If the pre-screening required in 1240-1-5-.02 failed to identify a household as being entitled to expedited service and the case manager subsequently discovers that the household is entitled to expedited service, the county must provide benefits to the household on or before the seventh calendar day following the date of discovery.
