I support the elimination of the current 30-day extend pend policy. This would improve timely case processing and also contribute to the reduction of state error rates. This would also align the processing timeframe with TANF policy. Most applications that are extended are denied, proving that applicants will get the information if they realize they only have 30 days to do so.
