Within three days of receiving an application and packet, the adoption assistance eligibility specialist must review the application and packet to determine whether:

  •  the application is complete; and

  •  the packet contains all of the required documentation.

If the application and packet are incomplete, the adoption assistance eligibility specialist must immediately notify the following persons in writing to identify the additional documentation that is required:

  •  the child’s caseworker;

  •  the child’s casework supervisor; and

  •  the prospective permanent managing conservator.

Once the specialist receives all of the materials in full, he or she must:

  •  review the application;

  •  preliminarily approve or deny it; and

  •  inform the caseworker of the approval or denial within two working days of making the determination.
