Any required documents or information that the family is unable to provide at the <br />interview must be provided within 14 days of the interview (Chapter 7 provides details <br />about longer submission deadlines for particular items, including documentation of <br />Social Security numbers and eligible noncitizen status). If the required documents and <br />information are not provided within the required time frame, the family will be sent a <br />notice of denial (See Chapter 3). <br />An advocate, interpreter, or other assistant may assist the family with the application and <br />the interview process. <br />Interviews may be conducted in English, Spanish or Vietnamese. <br />If the family is unable to attend a scheduled interview, the family must contact SAHA in <br />advance of the interview to schedule a new appointment. In all circumstances, if a family <br />does not attend a second and final scheduled interview, SAHA will send another <br />notification letter removing the family from the Waiting List. The family will have 14 <br />days to request a review if they do not agree with the decision. Applicants who fail to <br />attend a scheduled eligibility interview without SAHA approval will be denied assistance <br />based on the family's failure to supply information needed to determine eligibility. A <br />notice of denial will be issued in accordance with policies contained in Chapter 3. <br />4-III.F. COMPLETING THE APPLICATION PROCESS <br />SAHA must verify all information provided by the family (see Chapter 7). Based on verified <br />information, SAHA must make a final determination of eligibility (see Chapter 3) and must <br />confirm that the family qualified for any special admission, targeted funding admission, or <br />selection preference that affected the order in which the family was selected from the Waiting <br />List. <br />SAHA Policy <br />If SAHA determines that the family is ineligible, SAHA will send written notification of <br />the ineligibility within 14 days of the determination. The notice will specify the reasons <br />for ineligibility, and will inform the family of its right to request an informal review <br />(Chapter 16). <br />If SAHA determines that the family is eligible to receive assistance, SAHA will invite the <br />family to attend a voucher briefing in accordance with the policies in Chapter 5. <br />Page 4-13 Administrative Plan 4/i/168/6/2024 <br />
