Sec.  247.11  Applicants exceed caseload levels.

    (a) What must the local agency do if the number of applicants 
exceeds the local agency's caseload level? If all caseload has been 
filled, the local agency must maintain a waiting list of individuals who 
apply for the program. In establishing the waiting list, the local 
agency must include the date of application, the population group of the 
applicant, and information necessary to allow the local agency to 
contact the applicant when caseload space becomes available. Unless they 
have been determined ineligible, applicants must be notified of their 
placement on a waiting list within 10 days of their request for benefits 
in accordance with Sec.  247.15.
    (b) What are the requirements for serving individuals on the waiting 
list once caseload slots become available? When caseload slots open up, 
the local agency must provide benefits to eligible individuals on the 
waiting list in the following order of priority:
    (1) Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and infants;
    (2) Children ages 1 through 3;
    (3) Children ages 4 and 5;
    (4) Postpartum women; and
    (5) Elderly persons.
