R406-100-3. Uncertified Waiting List

(1) The standards of 7 CFR 246.7(f)(1) are adopted and incorporated by reference with the following exceptions:

(a) Uncertified Waiting List means a log of names of individuals who have applied for WIC benefits either by phone or walk in, but who have not been determined WIC eligible.

(b) When a clinic begins a priority system, the clinic must begin maintaining waiting lists by priority of individuals who visit or telephone the clinic to request program benefits. If screening appointments are not being taken, the clinic shall use the Uncertified Waiting List log. Applicants are to be placed on the highest potential priority of the uncertified log in chronological order by application date.

(c) For clinic convenience, there are three uncertified priority logs into which all potential applicants may be placed prior to certification. They are Priority I, III, and VI. Priorities II, IV, and V cannot be determined until after the certification process has been completed.
