1.3.5 Issuing Payments
The final step in processing the EAEA application is issuing the payment. The W-2 agency must complete this step within 10 working days of the EA application date, unless a Payment Delay applies (see 5.4.2 and 5.4.3).
As with eligibility decisions, W-2 agencies must issue payments as quickly as the situation allows, (see 1.3.1) and only use the full 10 working days timeframe when an eligibility decision occurs late in the timeframe.
EA comments in WWP must document eligibility decisions and timeframe rationale.
See Chapter 5 for information on determining payment amount and guidelines for issuing payments.
