You were refused. Now what?

Ask for the refusal in writing, citing the specific statutory requirement you did not meet.

51 Pa.C.S. §8902

Type it, paste it, or read it off a photo. Nothing you type here leaves your browser.

Your appeal route

Appeals in Pennsylvania run under 43 Pa. Code §5.26. Deadlines are short, so ask about the appeal window in the same conversation as the refusal.

A refusal that does not name a statutory requirement is not a reasoned refusal. Ask which requirement, in writing, before you argue the merits.

One more thing worth checking

The commonest wrong refusal here is a veteran who assumes their income disqualifies them and never applies. A presumption of need applies at $114,637 or less.
