Can I submit the application without payment of the application fee and send payment later?
No. Because of the resources needed to process your application and determine your eligibility, we need to ensure that applications are complete and application fees are paid when submitted. This streamlined application process helps us keep costs low for you. Allowing you to submit payment at a later date would require additional staff and support to track who submitted an application and then confirm receipt of an application fee. To keep costs low, we are focusing on a streamlined application.
