101. How long does it take to decide whether you are eligible?

DTA must decide on your application within 30 days and either pay benefits or deny your application. The 30-day time limit can be extended if you ask for more time to get proof of eligibility. 106 C.M.R. § 702.160. If you get a notice saying you did not supply enough proof, you have 30 days from the date of the notice to give DTA more proof.
