We have filed for an Organizational Clearance Certificate. Can we file the Welfare Exemption Claim Form now or wait until we receive the certificate?

The Welfare Exemption Claim Form is subject to filing deadlines based on the date of eligibility for the first-time filing, and due before 5:00 pm February 15th every year (or the next business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or holiday) for the annual filing. The claim form and supplemental claim forms cannot be processed without a valid Organizational Clearance Certificate; however, if the claim form is filed timely, the full eligible exemption will be enrolled without a late penalty once the certificate is issued regardless of how long it takes to receive the certificate.
