The Family Support Division shall inform the applicant of the types of assistance and services which are available, the requirements of eligibility, and additional information necessary, if any, to determine eligibility.
(2) Applications must be approved or denied in accordance with the timeframes established by federal and state law except when-

(B) The division cannot reach a decision because the applicant or an examining physician delays or fails to provide the information necessary to make an eligibility determination.

(4) Applications submitted by mail, telephone, or any commonly available electronic means shall be accepted and treated the same as an in-person filing of an application.
