FY 2006 Application Processing Timeliness
FNS evaluates application processing timeliness
(APT) as part of the quality control (QC) review process. State QC
reviewers evaluate APT during the State QC review. For States
potentially eligible for performance bonuses (the top 10 or so) Federal
QC reviewers validate timeliness for all cases and Federal/State
disagreements about timeliness are subject to arbitration. Timeliness
is calculated by dividing the number of cases timely processed by the
number of cases subject to the timeliness measure. A case is considered
processed timely if the household has an opportunity to participate
within seven days of the application date for expedited service cases
and within 30 days of the application date for regular processing
cases. This measure is not a strict measure of regulatory compliance. In some cases, applicant-caused delay (such as missing an interview on
an expedited application) may result in the action being coded as
untimely although the State agency was in full compliance with program
regulations. Cases that are properly pended for the household's failure
to provide verification are excluded from the measure.
