# §418.3225. How long will your application remain in effect?

- (a) Your application will remain in effect until our determination or decision has become final and binding under [§ 418.3620](/cfr/20/418.3620.md). If you appeal our initial determination, the determination does not become final until we issue a decision on any appeal you have filed under [§ 418.3655](/cfr/20/418.3655.md) (see [§ 418.3675](/cfr/20/418.3675.md)) or dismiss the request for a hearing under [§ 418.3670](/cfr/20/418.3670.md).
- (b) If, at the time your application is filed or before our determination or decision becomes final and binding, you meet all the requirements for a subsidy as described in [42 CFR 423.773](/cfr/42/423.773.md) except for enrollment in a Medicare Part D plan or Medicare Advantage plan with prescription drug coverage, we will send you a notice advising you of your eligibility for the subsidy and the requirement to enroll in such a plan.
- (c) If you are not entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Medicare Part B at the time your subsidy application is filed but you appear to be in an enrollment period, we will send you a notice advising you that we will not make a determination on your application until you become entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Medicare Part B. If you are not entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Medicare Part B at the time your application is filed and you do not appear to be in an enrollment period, we will send you a notice advising you that you are not eligible for the subsidy because you are not entitled to Medicare Part A and/or enrolled in Medicare Part B and explain your appeal rights.
