§ 63.2-504. Decision of local board that applicant entitled to public assistance

Upon completion of the investigation the local board shall determine whether the applicant is eligible for public assistance under this subtitle, and, if eligible, the amount of such public assistance and the date upon which such public assistance shall begin. If the local board approves the payment of public assistance, such public assistance shall thereupon, until changed, modified, or revoked be paid as hereinafter provided. If the local board does not act upon any such application within the period specified by Board regulation, or, if the circumstances require immediate public assistance to prevent hardship, the local director may provide necessary public assistance pending determination by the local board.
