1. 24.3(1)  The authority will review each completed application and determine whether the applicant is eligible for the program. The applicant may elect to have any of the following notified: legal guardian, case manager or representative payee.
2. 24.3(2)  The authority will maintain and administer a statewide waiting list for the program. When an application is received, the applicant will be placed on the waiting list according to the application date unless the provisions of Iowa Code section 16.55 apply.
3. 24.3(3)  When funding allows additional applicants to be added to the program, the authority will request updated documentation from the next applicant on the waiting list, and each applicant’s eligibility will be determined based upon the updated documentation.
