469 NAC 1-008.01
A request for assistance may be made in person, by letter, or by telephone, fax or electronic submission and may be made by the applicant, his/her guardian or conservator, an individual acting under a duly executed power of attorney (see 469 NAC 1-004), or another person authorized to act for the applicant. The worker must record the request date on the application. If an interview cannot be scheduled within 14 days from the date of request, an application must be mailed promptly or the client must be informed of the electronic application.
A request is terminated:
1. When a properly signed application is received.
2. When the applicant or his/her representative notifies the worker of withdrawal; or
3. After 30 days if the worker has heard nothing further from the applicant or his/her representative. However, the worker may continue to hold a request pending if there is reason to believe the applicant intends to complete his/her application.
Withdrawal of an application does not negate deprivation of resources (see 469 NAC 2-009.10).
