Sec.  418.3230  When will we use your subsidy inquiry as your filing date?

    If you or your personal representative (as defined in 42 CFR 
423.772) make an oral or written inquiry about the subsidy, or partially 
complete an Internet subsidy application on our Web site, we will use 
the date of the inquiry or the date the partial Internet application was 
started as your filing date if the following requirements are met:
    (a) The written or oral inquiry indicates your intent to file for 
the subsidy, or you submit a partially completed Internet application to 
us;
    (b) The inquiry, whether in person, by telephone, or in writing, is 
directed to an office or an official described in Sec.  418.3220, or a 
partially completed Internet subsidy application is received by us;
    (c) You or your personal representative (as defined in 42 CFR 
423.772) file an application (as defined in Sec.  418.3210) within 60 
days after the date of the notice we will send in response to the 
inquiry. The notice will say that we will make an initial determination 
of your eligibility for a subsidy, if an application is filed within 60 
days after the date of the notice. We will send the notice to you. Where 
you are a minor or adjudged legally incompetent and your personal 
representative made the inquiry, we will send the notice to your 
personal representative; and
    (d) You are alive on the first day of the month in which the 
application is filed.
