(1) A person who desires CSHS benefits for a child or youth must submit a completed application, along with supporting documents required by the department, to the department on a form it prescribes.

(2) If the department notifies the applicant that the application is incomplete and is not provided with the requested information within six weeks after the date the applicant was notified of the deficiency, the application will be considered inactive. If the requested information is subsequently received and the child or youth is found to be eligible, the eligibility year will begin on the date the additional requested information is received.

(3) If the child or youth is found not eligible, the department will send the applicant a notice stating the reasons for ineligibility and explaining how an informal reconsideration of its determination may be obtained pursuant to ARM 37.57.112.

(4) If the applicant is determined eligible, the department will send the applicant a notice of that fact specifying which conditions are eligible for CSHS assistance.
